Marc Bernal went through a tough injury period, but he credited his teammate and friend Gavi with helping him immensely throughout his recovery. Gavi, having faced similar injury challenges the previous year, provided Bernal with emotional support and shared his own experiences during rehab.
"Especially Gavi, who went through the same thing the previous year," Bernal told Marca. This help was especially crucial during the final stages of his comeback.
Now back on the pitch, Bernal has earned a call-up to Spain’s Under-21 national team. He emphasized how special it is to play alongside friends from the 2007 generation of La Masia graduates, with whom he grew up and now shares the first team.
Their story exemplifies how Barcelona values not only football talent but strong human connections that help players overcome challenges and progress together.
