Gómez in action for Barcelona B
Born in Arenys de Mar , Barcelona , Catalonia , Gómez arrived in FC Barcelona 's youth academy at the age of 14.[ 2] Even though he appeared in only three Segunda División B games for the B side in the 2009–10 season , he would later play an essential role in their Segunda División successful promotion play-offs , after injury to fellow youth graduate Andreu Fontàs .[ 3]
On 13 August 2010, as first-team manager Pep Guardiola provided Barça' s Spanish internationals with needed rest, Gómez was included in the nineteen-man squad to face Sevilla FC in the first leg of the 2010 edition of the Supercopa de España . He made his competitive debut in that match, playing 90 minutes in a 3–1 away loss.[ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
Gómez was exclusively associated to the youth teams and the reserves during his spell at the Camp Nou , however.[ 7] [ 8]

Gómez scored his first goal in the top flight on 5 November 2017, opening an eventual 3–1 win over Athletic Bilbao also at Balaídos .[ 12] [ 13]
Sevilla
Gómez joined Sevilla FC on 23 July 2018, on a four-year deal.[ 14] An undisputed starter under Pablo Machín ,[ 15] he was deemed surplus to requirements after the appointment of Julen Lopetegui .[ 16]

On 28 July 2021, Gómez signed a three-year contract with RCD Espanyol , newly promoted to the top tier.[ 17]
