Cristian's Football Journey

Starting at FC Barcelona

Cristian was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. He grew up playing football in the famous FC Barcelona youth system. He started as a forward for Barcelona's B-team. He scored three goals in the 2003–04 season and four goals the next season.

Later, his coaches changed his position to a winger. He did very well in this new role. In the 2005–06 season, he scored 11 goals in the third division. He also played one official game for Barcelona's main team in a Copa del Rey match.

Playing for Deportivo La Coruña

In 2006, Cristian joined Deportivo de La Coruña as a free agent. He made his first appearance in La Liga, Spain's top football league, on August 27, 2006. He came into the game as a substitute in a 3–2 win against Real Zaragoza.

He scored his first goal in La Liga while playing against Real Madrid. This goal helped his team win 2–0 at their home stadium, Estadio Riazor. In his second year with Deportivo, he scored another league goal against his old club, Barcelona. However, he played in fewer matches that season.

Time with Hércules CF

After playing even less in the 2008–09 season, Cristian left Deportivo. He then signed a three-year contract with Hércules CF, a team in the second division.

In his first season with Hércules (2009–10), he played 23 games and scored three goals. His efforts helped the team from Alicante return to La Liga after 13 years.

Later Career and International Clubs

In March 2012, Cristian joined Elche CF in the second division. Before this, he had only been training with Hércules for several months.

Later in 2012, at 29 years old, Cristian started playing for clubs outside Spain. He played for Alki Larnaca FC in Cyprus and PFC Cherno More Varna in Bulgaria.

In 2014, he was chosen by Chennaiyin FC in India. He scored his first goal for Chennaiyin from a free kick against Mumbai City FC. This goal helped his team win 3–0.

In January 2015, Cristian moved to Morocco and joined Moghreb Tétouan. He played there until June 2016. After that, he played for several other clubs, including Ceahlăul in Romania, Granollers and La Jonquera in Spain, and finally FC Ordino in Andorra.
