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]
