Collado had joined the Barcelona Academy, 11 years ago, in July 2010 from the Espanyol Academy and was included in the age groups until he reached Barcelona B. Collado participated in 77 games in total with the reserve team, during which he scored 16 goals and one of those goals was chosen as the best A goal by the fans in the second division.
