PSG-Angers: "A day that I will never forget", savors Juan Bernat

A year and a month have passed since September 16, 2020 and the cruciate ligament injury of the left knee of Juan Bernat.

This Friday, October 15, against Angers (2-1), the Spanish left side finally played football in an official match.

Entered in the 63rd minute of play, he received a standing ovation from the Parc des Princes.

A welcome that warmed her heart.

He showed himself to his advantage, demonstrating that he had lost none of his desire and thirst to attack.

How do you feel after a year and a month away?

JUAN BERNAT.

Happy, very happy to play again with the team, to find the grounds, to replay a match.

It has been a very long time, much more than expected.

So now I'm really happy.

What was the hardest part for you during this time?

Everything, ultimately.

The injury was serious.

Everything got complicated.

I had to go through the operating table three times.

These are things that happen and we have to accept it.

But it takes a lot of sacrifice, a lot of work, a lot of mental strength.

These are difficult times, you feel alone, you are no longer with the team, you train separately.

It's pretty hard.

But it's over now.

I am happy to be back with my teammates and to play football again.

This is what I like the most.

How did you react to the reception from the public?

I really wanted to play again in front of an audience.

The last time (

), the fans were not there.

It's great to find the Parc des Princes and see it full again.

It is a day that I will never forget.

Do you know when can you replay an entire match?

I do not know.

I don't want to put too much pressure on myself.

I have to keep working.

This is the first game after 13 months.

I pick up the pace.

I don't know when I could replay 90 minutes.

I played 30 minutes today, I feel good.

But obviously I can't hold a whole game yet.

I just hope it will be as quickly as possible in order to play as many matches as possible.
