Bernal outlines the ambitions of La Masia class of 2007 – ‘We have dreamed together as children’
Bernal outlines the ambitions of La Masia class of 2007 – ‘We have dreamed together as children’ Marc Bernal’s importance for Barcelona has steadily, yet surely, increased in recent months, especially after the injury to Frenkie de Jong. The youngster has now become a default starter for the club under Hansi Flick and has done well in his opportunities on the field, proving why he is so highly rated internally. Belonging to the same age-group as Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal, he is seen as the next big breakout star from that special generation.
Bernal’s interview The academy star spoke to SPORT in a recent interview where he delved into his cohort in La Masia – the generation of 2007 – and how so many of them have anomalously broken into the Barcelona first team together. “We have dreamed together as children and we are dreaming now to win titles. To win the Champions League and in our case (referring to Lamine and Cubarsi) also the World Cup.
They are the dreams that remain to be fulfilled. ” He then explained how he still feels at home in the academy facilities and still regularly goes to meet his friends. “Some days I return to La Masia , I still have friends of my generation and I’m going to see them.
” “We are the only club that has it and it is super special. We all do a lot and we have a spectacular group,” he added on Barcelona’s academy. Bernal was then asked to name a few players who he thought would make progress in securing their first-team dreams soon.
“There are many, but I would tell you Dani Rodríguez and Juan Hernández, who will surely debut soon. ” On Dro Fernandez Pedro left Barcelona for PSG in January.
