Marc Bernal, the 17-year-old midfielder who had been making waves with his impressive performances for Barcelona, has suffered a devastating injury that will keep him out of action for at least 10-12 months. 
The promising youngster ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and damaged his meniscus during the latter stages of Tuesday's victory over Rayo Vallecano.
The severity of the injury is a significant blow to both Bernal and Barcelona, who had high hopes for the talented teenager. Bernal's impressive start to his first-team career had already made a significant impact on the team, and his absence will be deeply felt.
In a show of support and solidarity, Hansi Flick's starting lineup wore tribute t-shirts ahead of the match against Real Valladolid, emblazoned with the message "Estem amb tu Marc" - Catalan for "We are with you Marc". This heartfelt gesture underscores the team's unity and commitment to standing by their injured teammate during this challenging time.
As Barcelona takes to the field, they will be motivated by more than just securing a win. They will be driven by a desire to honor Bernal's spirit and resilience, even in his absence. The match against Real Valladolid presents an opportunity for the team to come together and demonstrate their strength in the face of adversity.
