Juan Bernat Velasco (born 1 March 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Bundesliga side Bayern Munich as a left back and left winger.
He began his career at Valencia, featuring in three La Liga campaigns, before moving to Bayern Munich in 2014 with whom he won the league title in his first two seasons.
A European champion with the under-19 team in 2012, Bernat made his senior debut for Spain in 2014.
Born in Cullera, Valencian Community, Bernat was a product of Valencia CF's youth system. He made his senior debuts at only 17, appearing with the reserves in Tercera División and helping them return to Segunda División B; he was brought to the main squad for the 2011 pre-season, scoring in a 3–0 away win against Sporting Clube de Portugal, and earned a professional contract until 2015 shortly after.
Bernat made his debut with the Che's first team in a 4–3 La Liga home win against Racing de Santander on 27 August 2011: he started the game and was replaced at half-time, with the score at 2–1 for the visitors. His second league appearance occurred on 22 January 2012 in a 1–1 draw at CA Osasuna, substituting Jonas in the 57th minute; he continued featuring regularly for the B's, in the third level.
