Barragán signed for Liverpool in July 2005, as an 18-year old who had yet to appear for Sevilla FC's first team.[1] He would, however, spend the 2005–06 season with the club's reserves, managing one appearance for the first team, as a substitute for striker and fellow Spaniard Fernando Morientes in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against PFC CSKA Sofia. In doing so, he became the youngest foreigner to play for Liverpool.
On 4 August 2006, Barragán signed a five-year contract with La Liga outfit Deportivo de La Coruña, in an operation that cost the Galicians €1 million.[2] Barragan's time at Deportivo began well. He was in the starting eleven for the first eight matches and scored against Real Sociedad in a 2–0 home win. He subsequently alternated in the right-back position with Manuel Pablo until he fractured his knee in April 2008.[3] He was out of action for the rest of the season, and did not feature at all in 2008-2009.
Deportivo released Barragan from his contract without his consent in 2008. He successfully sued the club for an indemnity of €400.000,[4] even though they later decided to reverse their previous decision and restore him to the squad.[5] He left Deportivo La Coruña in the summer of 2009.
In early June 2009, Barragán moved to Real Valladolid, on a three-year link.[6] He played one season apiece in each of the two major levels of Spanish football, appearing in 17 league games in 2009–10 (14 starts) as the campaign ended in relegation.
On 30 August 2011, Valladolid announced that Barragán would be leaving for Valencia CF in a deal worth €1.5m.[7]
Barragán was part of the Spanish U19 side that emerged victorious at the 2006 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship in Poland.[8] Just a few months later, following solid performances with Depor and former teammate Antonio Puerta's call-up to the senior side, he was promoted to the under-21s.[9]
