After the match, Bernal shared the advice Flick had given him before stepping onto the pitch. He offered context by explaining that Flick had been keeping an eye on his rhythm over the past week. "Yes, he told me to make the most of today's match. "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," Bernal explained.
"Marc Bernal is one of the 22 players called up by the Catalan national team for the match on November 18," the statement revealed. "The midfielder from Berga has been called up by coach Gerard López and will wear the four bars for a very special and charity match against Palestine at the Olympic Stadium next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m." The 18-year-old midfield starlet, who has barely played since returning from an ACL injury back in September, will make use of the match to build some rhythm and get more minutes under his belt.
