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.

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]
