Patricio Gabarrón Gil (born 17 April 1993), known as Patric, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Serie A club Lazio. Mainly a right-back, he can also operate as a central defender and a defensive midfielder.

He began his professional career at Barcelona, where he was mainly a reserve and played one first-team match in the UEFA Champions League. He joined Lazio in 2015 and made over 200 appearances, winning the Coppa Italia in 2019.

Club career

Barcelona

Born in Mula, Region of Murcia, Patric began playing at his hometown club Muleño CF – who received 10,300 compensation for their development – and played in the youth ranks at Real Murcia CF and Villarreal CF before joining FC Barcelona's academy at La Masia in 2008, aged 15. Originally a defensive midfielder, he was reconverted into right-back by the B side's coach Eusebio Sacristán, a former Barcelona player.[2]

On 22 September 2012, Patric made his debut with the reserves, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gerard Deulofeu in a 3–0 Segunda División away win against Hércules CF.[3] On 26 November of the following year he first appeared with the first team in competitive games, replacing Carles Puyol in the 2–1 loss at AFC Ajax in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.[4]

Patric scored his first goal as a professional on 28 February 2015, but in a 2–4 home defeat to RCD Mallorca.[5] The season eventually ended in relegation.

Lazio

On 8 June 2015, Patric signed a four-year deal with Serie A club SS Lazio.[6] He made his debut in the competition on 30 August, playing the second half of the 4–0 loss at AC ChievoVerona.[7] After sitting on the bench as his team won the Coppa Italia against Atalanta BC in 2019,[8] he scored his first goal for them in the last 16 of the following edition, opening a 4–0 home victory over US Cremonese.[9]

On 7 July 2020, Patric received a red card for biting US Lecce player Giulio Donati in a 2–1 defeat, and was fined €10,000 and given a four-match ban by the Disciplinary Commission the following day.[10] Nine days later, the ban was reduced to three matches and €20,000 on appeal.[11]

Patric scored his first top-flight goal on 7 May 2022, in the 2–0 home win over UC Sampdoria.[12] In July, he agreed to a new contract to last until 2027.[13]
