Are you sure he played for Barcelona ? He was born and raised in Catalonia, but I’m pretty sure he never played for Barcelona ?!?

He got one cap for Dominican Republic in 2013. When he went to Lyon in 2016 he became the first (and only to date) player from that country in Ligue 1. By scoring 18 goals in his only season, he became the top goalscorer from CONCACAF in Ligue 1.

I wrote Badalona and it was corrected for Barcelona without me noticing, thank you very much, in Catalonia he played for Espanyol, but in the youth categories
