Bernal's injury to add to Barcelona's woes 

The 17-year-old CDM Marc Bernal appeared efficient in his role of playing single-pivot, playing point-point passes to the forward line, initiating attacks and covering the defensive lines, and putting in important tackles when needed. The teenager's playing style gave many fans, a glimpse of their club's former Iconic CDM Sergio Busquets. Bernal provided the much-needed calmness, balance and order that Barcelona's midfield lacked in its previous seasons. 

According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) from CaughtOffside columnist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bernal has torn the ACL ligament in his knee and is now expected to be out for several months. Bernal limped off the pitch after being on the receiving end of a collision from one of Rayo's forwards.
