Hansi Flick has already found the ideal replacement for Marc Bernal

Hansi Flick and Barcelona fans can breathe a sigh of relief, Marc Casadó is the ideal replacement for Marc Bernal. After the 17-year-old suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and an associated injury to the external meniscus in the match against Rayo Vallecano, doubts began to grow in the team's midfield, but it seems that all the answers have now been found.

And while Bernal, supported by crutches, sat in the stands of the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc, his place in the starting 11 was taken by Marc Casadó and he did not disappoint. The 20-year-old player moved with ease on the field of play, as if he had always been the starting midfielder for the Catalan team, being very dedicated in marking and covering spaces.

Casadó: The solution to Flick's problems

In the 7-0 thrashing of Valladolid, Casadó did an excellent job in defence, playing an impeccable game on a tactical level. It is no coincidence that Flick decided to trust him, since the German has been watching his performances both in the first team and at Barça Atlètic, where he was the starting midfielder last season. However, it was Bernal who seemed to have won the heart of his coach, until his serious injury prevented him from continuing to play.

Now, the Catalan has the best opportunity of his life and it is to be a starter for the culé team. And his records in this match were extraordinary. In the 62 minutes he played before being replaced by Eric García, he made 63 good passes out of the 64 he made. Flick could even be seen applauding a pass he made during the match, a clear example of the confidence the German has in the Spaniard. Without a doubt, another successful bet from the Barça coach, who already has a perfect score of 12 points in his first four games in LaLiga.
