Berlanga starred in Auckland City's historic 2014 FIFA Club World Cup campaign, in which the club finished third, netting the equaliser against Copa Libertadores champions San Lorenzo in the semifinal from a seemingly impossible angle; Auckland City eventually fell 2-1 in extra time.[15] Berlanga was absent for Auckland City's third-place playoff win over Cruz Azul due to suspension.[16]

Berlanga then started for Auckland City in their championship winning match against Team Wellington on 15 March 2014.
