The patience of Marc Bernal is starting to wear thin. The young midfielder expected to have a much more significant role this season with FC Barcelona, but the reality has been frustrating.

His recovery from a serious injury brought back his enthusiasm, however, Hansi Flick's plans have left the academy player in a marginal role that has ignited his discontent.

FC Barcelona and the lack of opportunities

Bernal was confident that this would be his year. Last season, before his injury in Vallecas, he was on the path to establishing himself in the blaugrana squad. After a long recovery process and months of silent work, he returned with the expectation of gradually gaining minutes. However, three months into the season, he has only played five games and accumulated 32 minutes in total. A figure he deems insufficient, visibly frustrating him.

Within the FC Barcelona dressing room, many acknowledge the young man's evident frustration. Bernal has shown commitment in training, without raising his voice, but he does not understand why Flick has placed him behind players like Eric García or Christensen, who have even been used in his position. 

Hansi Flick and a management that raises doubts

The German Hansi Flick has wanted to handle Bernal with caution from day one. He believes that the player still needs competitive rhythm and confidence after such a serious injury. However, this protection has turned into distrust. His decision to exclude him from several important matches has caused bewilderment in the player's circle, leading him to think that the coach does not trust him.

The tension between them is said to have increased after the latest call-up for the U-21 national team, where Flick requested the club to avoid his participation to prevent a relapse. Although the intention was to protect him, Bernal took it as a sign of lack of faith in his physical ability. Now, as he prepares to play for the Catalan national team against Palestine, the midfielder wants to prove that he is ready to compete at the highest level.

Marc Bernal could seek an exit in January

The midfielder has not made a final decision, but he is analyzing his future cautiously. He knows that the next few months will be crucial in defining his role at FC Barcelona. If the situation does not change, he does not rule out requesting a loan in the winter transfer market. Several Spanish and European clubs have already shown interest in incorporating him, aware that he needs playing time to regain his form.

The upcoming match against Athletic Club could be an opportunity. Without Pedri or De Jong, Flick is left without two key pieces in midfield. Bernal has trained intensively, hoping that this time the coach will place his trust in him. However, the player remains somewhat reserved: he wants actions, not just promises.

An undecided future

At FC Barcelona, they assure that they count on Marc Bernal in the long term. They convey confidence in him and highlight his potential. But actions speak louder than words. And at this moment, the midfielder feels that his progression has stalled. If his role does not change, he may seek a temporary new destination to rediscover the prominence that Flick has denied him until now.

Bernal is clear: he does not want to be a luxury spectator on the Camp Nou bench. He wants to play, grow, and prove that he has the level to lead Barcelona's future. But for that, he needs playing time. And in this standoff with Flick, patience is starting to run out.
