Ángel Alarcón Galiot (born 15 May 2004) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Barcelona Atlètic.

Club career

Born in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Catalonia, Alarcón started his footballing career at the age of four with amateur side Vista Alegre, where both of his parents played.[3] He joined Barcelona in 2018 from Espanyol, going on to make his debut for the Barcelona Atlètic side in 2021.[3][4] A ruptured ACL during the semi-final of the Copa de Campeones Juvenil de Fútbol saw him miss the entirety of the 2021–22 season.[3]

On 18 January 2023, having scored twelve goals for the club's Juvenil A team, he was named in the Barcelona senior squad for the Copa del Rey game against Ceuta the following day.[5][6] He made his professional debut as Barcelona went on to beat Ceuta 5–0, coming on as a substitute for Raphinha. Since then, Alarcon has played four more times for the Barcelona senior side and has been a reasonably consistent presence in Xavi’s matchday squad selections.[7]

International career

Alarcón has represented Spain at youth international level.[1]

Style of play

A forward comfortable using both feet and able to play anywhere across the front line, Alarcón is known for his pace and goal-scoring ability.[8][9]
