Abdelaziz Barrada (Arabic: عبد العزيز برادة; born 19 June 1989), sometimes known just as Abdel, is a former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Born in France, he represented Morocco at international level.
Club career
Getafe
Barrada was born in Provins, France. After playing three years with Paris Saint-Germain's reserves, he moved to Spain in 2010 and joined Getafe, initially being assigned to the reserves which were playing for the first time ever in Segunda División B. On 14 March 2011, he signed his first professional contract with the Madrid outskirts club,[1] and proved essential as the B's eventually retained their league status at the end of the season.[citation needed]
On 28 August 2011, Barrada made his La Liga debut with Getafe, starting and playing 60 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Levante.[2] He was immediately propelled into manager Luís García's starting XI.[3]
Barrada scored his first goal for Getafe's main squad on 6 November 2011, helping the hosts – who played more than 60 minutes with ten players – to a 3–2 home win against Atlético Madrid.[4] In the following month, on the 17th, he netted twice in a 2–1 success at Mallorca.[5]
Barrada scored four goals in 32 matches in both of his seasons with the team, helping it to consecutive midtable positions (11th and tenth).[6]
Al-Jazira and Marseille
On 6 July 2013, Barrada joined UAE Arabian Gulf League side Al Jazira Club, signing a four-year contract.[7] The following summer, he agreed to a four-year deal with Marseille for a reported €4.5 million.[8]
In only his second appearance in Ligue 1, Barrada scored his first goal in the competition, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute in the home fixture against Nice and scoring for a 4–0 victory.[9] His second arrived early into the 2015–16 season, as he contributed to a 6–0 demolition of Troyes also at the Stade Vélodrome.[10]
International career
Barrada earned his first cap for Morocco on 29 February 2012, playing 86 minutes in a 2–0 friendly win over Burkina Faso.[11] Also that year, he was part of the under-23 squad at the Summer Olympic Games, scoring in a 2–2 draw against Honduras[12] in an eventual group stage exit.
