Midfielder Marc Bernal, a native of Berga, delivered a standout performance at the Camp Nou this March 3rd, scoring twice in Barça's 3-0 victory over Atlético de Madrid.

Despite the win, Hansi Flick's side was eliminated from the Copa del Rey due to the 4-0 deficit from the first leg. Bernal opened the scoring in the first half and added a second in the 72th minute, proving to be the revelation of the match.
The young talent played the full 90 minutes for the first time, showing great chemistry with Pedri and Lamine Yamal, although the fourth goal needed to force extra time never arrived.
