"Yes, he told me to make the most of today's match," he told reporters."
"We also played a match on Thursday, mainly so that I could feel better, get into rhythm, and that's what I did, making the most of it."
"It was really special. I've been lucky enough to play for the Under-12s and Under-16s, and now to play for the senior team today, after so many years and the way we've done it, I'm really proud."
Bernal played the opening 45 minutes at Montjuic with Flick in the stands. A midweek match on Thursday aimed to help Bernal regain match rhythm and fitness. The extra match helped Bernal feel better and return to rhythm, allowing him to make the most of his senior appearance. The outing marked a personal milestone after previous involvement at Under-12 and Under-16 levels and culminated in a proud senior-team moment. Bernal has made only five substitute appearances this season for Barcelona. Further domestic game time will depend on selections once play resumes after the international break.
