Football career
A product of FC Barcelona's youth system, Cristián scored three goals during the 2003–04 season and four goals in the following campaign, while performing as a forward with the B team. The team's coaches would, however, change his roll into one of a winger, and he impressed in this position, ending 2005–06 with eleven goals. He also made one full appearance for the Catalans' main squad in a Copa del Rey match against Zamora CF.
Cristian signed for Deportivo de La Coruña in 2006–07,[1] making his La Liga debut on 27 August 2006, as he came from the bench in a 3–2 home win over Real Zaragoza. As a starter, he scored his first top level goal in a 2–0 success against Real Madrid, also at the Estadio Riazor.
In his second season, Cristian's scored his second league goal ever, in a 9 December 2007 defeat against his former employers, 1–2 at the Camp Nou.[2] He would only amass 14 league contests during the season, however.
After appearing even less in 2008–09, Cristian was released and joined Hércules CF, in the second division.
