Marcelo Alberto Barovero (born 18 February 1984) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Argentine Primera División club Banfield. He often goes by the nickname of "Trapito" (Spanish for "Little Rag").

Career

Early years

His first steps in the practice of football were at the club of his hometown, Porteña Asociación Cultural y Deportiva, then he played at the youth academy of

Atlético Rafaela
until his professional debut.

Professional career

Atlético Rafaela

Barovero started his professional career in 2003 playing for

Ángel David Comizzo and Ezequiel Medrán. Rafaela was relegated at the end of the 2003–04 season, but Barovero stayed with the club and established himself as the first choice goalkeeper back in the B Nacional. He totalled 113 appearances for Atlético de Rafaela, before his move to Huracán
(of the first division) in 2007.

Huracán

In the 2007/2008 season, he played all the 38 matches that his team disputed. At the end of this season, he was bought by

Vélez Sársfield
.

Velez Sarsfield

In 2008, after one season as a starter in Huracán, Barovero was bought by

2009 Clausura
he was part of the Vélez team that won the championship, being an unused substitute during the tournament.

He eventually caught his break during the

Ubaldo Matildo Fillol Award for being the goalkeeper with the lowest goals-to-games ratio.[3][4] The following semester, Barovero started in all 19 games of Vélez 2011 Clausura winning campaign,[5] and all 12 of the team's Copa Libertadores
semifinalist campaign.

River Plate

After his successful spell in Velez, in the 2012 Argentine winter transfer window giant River Plate picked him up for a US$250,000 season-long loan.[6] He soon became the undisputed starting goalkeeper during his first semester at the club, and upon completion of the loan, River made his move permanent for a reported fee of US$950,000. Since then he's been one of the stars of the Argentine side and was named Man of the Match in more than one occasion, but most notably on an intense fixture in the 2013 Copa Sudamericana against Buenos Aires rivals San Lorenzo to advance to the Round of Sixteen. He won multiple titles with the squad, most notably the 2015 Copa Libertadores. The fans consider him an idol of the team.

Club Necaxa

Marcelo Barovero was officially transferred from River Plate to Necaxa of Liga MX, on 9 July 2016.[7]

C.F. Monterrey

Monterrey football club unveiled May 23, 2018, the signing of Barovero, through the club's Twitter account. Barovero arrived for the 2018 Apertura MX tournament as one of the first reinforcements of the team led by

Necaxa, where he won the Copa MX at the Clausura 2018.[8]
