In 2003, he moved to FC Barcelona, being inserted into its B team. On 30 May 2009, Botía made his professional debut, coming on as a second half substitute for Gerard Piqué, in the side's final game of the season, a 1–1 draw at Deportivo de La Coruña.
On 14 July 2009, Botía was sent to fellow La Liga side Sporting de Gijón, on a season-long loan.[1]
