Marc Bernal celebrated a dream moment as the 18‑year‑old midfielder netted his first goal for Barcelona in a 3‑0 LaLiga victory over Mallorca. Coming off the bench, he added the third after strikes from Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, extending Barça’s lead at the top of the table.

Bernal’s return follows a season‑ending ACL tear in his third senior appearance for Barça in 2024. Coach Hansi Flick has eased him back, using him sparingly to rebuild match fitness. The teenager’s goal underscores the club’s depth and keeps the title race four points ahead of Real Madrid.

Fact: Barcelona have won 26 LaLiga titles, the most in Spain.

With the win, Barcelona extends its advantage at the summit, while the young midfielder’s confidence grows. The goal also signals a promising recovery path for Bernal, who has already shown resilience after a tough injury season. The result cements Barça’s position as the team to beat this campaign.
