The young player Marc Bernal, a midfielder for Barcelona, revealed the messages he received during his recovery period from an ACL tear that kept him off the field for a year, stating that they were surprising to him and had a significant impact on his psyche.

Bernal praised the support he received from prominent figures in the world of football, such as Xavi Hernandez, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, and even Sergio Ramos, emphasizing that these messages helped him overcome moments of frustration and anxiety during his long absence from matches.

The player pointed out that his teammate Gavi was a great support to him, given his previous experience with a similar injury. He also confirmed that sessions with a psychologist helped him regain his confidence and ability to return to the level he was at before the injury.

Bernal is now preparing to join Barcelona in a tough match against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, after the Catalan team exited the semi-finals of the King's Cup, in a bid to make amends.
