'I was taught to be grateful as a child' - Bernat hits back at Hoeness

  /  arrowhead

Juan Bernat isn't concerned by Bayern München president Uli Hoeness' fierce criticism.

At an extraorinary press conference on Friday, Bayern München president Uli Hoeness launched a powerful attack on Juan Bernat, saying that the former Bayern player "almost single-handedly" made the Bavarians get knocked out of the Champions League last season. 

Now, Bernat, who was sold to Paris Saint-Germain during the summer, has reacted to the criticism - and he doesn't seem bothered by Hoeness' harsh words. 

"Yes, I've heard of it, but I have nothing to say about it. I was taught to be grateful as a child," Bernat said according to Bild and added: 

"I will always be grateful to Bayern and the fans for the four years that I was allowed to spend there. I wish the Bavarians all the best and good luck. I have very good memories of my time there." 

Bernat, 25, made 113 appearances for Bayern München with five goals and 10 assists to his name.
