[8] On 24 February 1895, Bernat and his teammate Fraysse were the only Frenchman selected to play for the first representative team of Paris in a friendly match against the London-based Folkestone at the soggy pitch of the Seine Velodrome, which ended in a 0–3 loss.

[1][9] Together with Lucien Huteau, Marcel Lambert, Gaston Peltier, Georges Garnier, and captain Fraysse, Bernat was a starter in the Club Français team that won the 1896 USFSA Football Championship, doing so without losing a single match.

[10] In the following year, on 25 April 1897, he started in the final of the inaugural Coupe Manier against the newly crowded champions of France Standard AC, helping his side to a 4–3 win after extra-time.

[3] On 1 April 1907, the 31-year-old Bernat put on his boots again to serve as the captain of the so-called Vieilles Gloires ("Old Glories"), a team made up of fellow retired players from the 1890s, which included some of his former CF teammates, such as Garnier, René Ressejac-Duparc, and Ernest Weber.

[15] They faced the English club Old Etonians, and after conceding three goals in the first half, the captain Bernat made some changes at half-time, which improved the team as the game ended in a 1–4 loss.
