Barila was born in Valencia, Spain, the capital of the namesake community. He had a brief spell at local giants Valencia CF (never made it past the reserve side), going on to spend the vast majority of his career in the Spanish third division or lower.
He represented UD Barbastro, CD Alcoyano, Pontevedra CF, CD Castellón, CP Mérida, Levante UD (his only two Segunda División experiences, for a total of 18 matches), Atlético Saguntino, Cartagonova CF, Gimnàstic de Tarragona, Getafe CF and Benidorm CF, retiring at the age of 31.[1]
Through parentage, Barila opted to represent the Equatorial Guinea national football team, as for example Benjamín, Javier Balboa and Rodolfo Bodipo. He gained a total of two caps, both coming at the age of 30.
