Sevilla
Born in Cali, Bernardo finished his football formation in Spain with Sevilla FC. After appearing in one game for the B-team in 2007–08 (five minutes), he proceeded to play a further three full seasons with the B's, one in Segunda División and two in Segunda División B, only starting regularly in his last.
Bernardo made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 11 May 2011, playing 90 minutes in a 2–3 away loss against CA Osasuna. In the ensuing summer, he was loaned to fellow league club Racing de Santander in a season-long move.
Bernardo scored his first top flight goal for the Andalusians on 7 January 2012, heading home the game's only in a home win against Real Zaragoza.
Sporting Gijón
On 26 December 2012, after not featuring at all for Sevilla in the first half of the campaign, Bernardo was loaned to Sporting de Gijón in the second level. The following 26 June he signed a permanent three-year contract, scoring three goals while only missing one game in 42 in the 2014–15 campaign to help the Asturians return to the top division after three years.
Bernardo missed the second part of 2015–16, due to a serious knee injury.
Middlesbrough
On 15 June 2016, at the expiration of his contract, Bernardo joined newly promoted Premier League side Middlesbrough on a three-year deal. Still recovering from his anterior cruciate ligament ailment when he arrived, he gained regular playing time during the second half of the season, being third-choice in his position behind Calum Chambers and Ben Gibson.
Girona
On 7 July 2017, after being relegated, Bernardo signed with Girona FC for an undisclosed fee.
International career
In November 2015, Bernardo was named in Colombia's squad for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Argentina, but eventually did not make his debut.
