Hansi Flick gave a heartfelt gift to the stricken Barcelona star during the hospital visit
Barcelona were rocked last month by Marc Bernal's serious knee injury. The 17-year-old sensation had started the season in excellent form, but against Rayo Vallecano, he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and damaged his meniscus – which means it is almost certain that he will not play any more part during the current campaign .

Hansi Flick was particularly affected by Bernal's injury, and as explained in the last episode of “Barça reserved” (via Sport3), visited the midfielder in the hospital when he underwent surgery last week on his injured knee. It is reported that the German manager spent a lot of time with Bernal during the visit.
During the visit, Flick provided Bernal with a gift – a self-help book, with advice for overcoming difficult times. Inside the book, Flick had written a special message for the teenager – he gave a lot of encouragement to recover and not to worry about the time off, that the most important thing was that he came back well, because he will be one of the great players of the future
Flick proved to be an excellent manager of the man during the first stages of his Barcelona tenure, and this episode supports the fact that he has an excellent relationship with the first team.
