Exact moment Marc Bernal picks up injury spotted
Barcelona secured another three points on Tuesday, continuing their perfect start to the season with a win against Rayo Vallecano. However, the 3/3 league record was overshadowed by Marc Bernal’s injury.
The injury occurred after a collision with Rayo’s Isi Palazón. We’re not placing all the blame on the Rayo player — he just happened to be on the ball when Marc tried to clear it to prevent an equalizer in the stoppage time, leading to the unfortunate incident.
Footage shows Bernal’s leg taking a hit while his foot wasn’t fully planted on the ground.
Even though the impact didn’t look severe, this kind of movement can cause serious knee damage.
Now, the club fear the worst — an ACL injury. If confirmed, the season for Bernal is pretty much over.
