Club career
Born in Andorra la Vella, Bernaus was a FC Barcelona youth graduate. He could never appear for the first team in La Liga, playing four seasons in the second division and another in the third with the B-side; during his spell with the Blaugrana, he suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury to his right knee that hindered his professional career.
Bernaus amassed 286 overall appearances whilst competing in the second tier of Spanish football, also representing CD Toledo, Terrassa FC, Gimnàstic de Tarragona, UD Las Palmas, Getafe CF, Elche CF, Polideportivo Ejido and Girona FC. His biggest achievement came in the 2003–04 season, when he helped Madrid's Getafe to its first top level promotion by playing in 33 out of 42 league games; he also suffered, however, five relegations, two of those with Barça's reserves.
International career
After having appeared for Spain at youth level, Bernaus opted to represent Andorra, his homeland, as a senior. On 13 October 2004, he entered the minnow footballing nation's history books when he scored the game's only goal against Macedonia in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers for Andorra's first ever competitive win.
