Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Barberà is a youth product of Sant Gabriel, and moved to Damm in 2019. The following year in 2020 he joined Barcelona's youth academy, and in his first year was the top scorer of the División de Honor Juvenil de Fútbol with 19 goals.[2]

He was promoted to Barça Atlètic for the beginning of the 2022–23 season. He made his senior debut with Barça Atlètic in a 0–0 Primera Federación tie with CD Alcoyano on 4 September 2022.[3]

Playing style

Barberà is adept at pouncing on balls in the box and rebounds. An intelligent player, he often appears behind the defense and is a strong finisher. He's quick and can play out wide, but prefers to stay in the opponent's box.[2] He has earned comparison in playstyle to Robert Lewandowski.[5]
