Club career

Manchester City

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Bernabé was a youth product of RCD Espanyol[4] and La Masia, the FC Barcelona academy. He joined Manchester City in the summer of 2018.[5] An attacking midfielder, Bernabé joined the first team in pre-season playing against Bayern Munich and played in the EFL Trophy against Shrewsbury Town.[6] On 25 September 2018, Bernabé came on as a late substitute in the EFL Cup against Oxford United, his first senior appearance for Manchester City.[7] Bernabé was released by City at the end of the 2020–21 season.

Parma

On 7 July 2021, Bernabé signed a three-year contract with Serie B club Parma.[8] Despite being sidelined upon his arrival due to an injury, which caused him to miss the first half of the season, Bernabé finally made his debut for Parma on 5 February 2022, in a league match against Benevento resulting in a 0–0 draw.[9] On 26 February, in a 4–0 league victory against SPAL, he scored his first goal for the club.[10] As a crucial part of the team under manager Giuseppe Iachini, Bernabé stood out, even amidst the club's underwhelming season where they fell short of both direct promotion as well as promotion play-offs to the top division.[9][11]

Following another strong season with Parma, in which they only just missed out on promotion after losing in the play-offs, Bernabé signed a contract extension with the club until 2026, on 2 July 2023.[12] In 2024 he was promoted to the Serie A with his team.

International career

Bernabé was a youth international for Spain, having called up for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[13] He finished as runner-up as Spain was defeated by England 1-0 in the final.[14]

Bernabé received call-up to Spain U23 for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[15] In the gold medal match of the tournament, Bernabé gave an assist for Spain's fourth goal, and later became an Olympic gold medalist as Spain beat the hosts France 5-3 after extra time in the gold medal match.[16]
