Club career

Born in Barcelona, Piera began to play for Centre d'Esports de Sants.[1] Piera was one of the best right wings in the history of FC Barcelona, where he played from 1920 to 1921 season to 1932–33 season and appeared in 395 games, scored 123 goals. He also represented Spain at the 1924 Summer Olympics.[2]

International career

Piera never reached the Spain national football team, but he played for the Catalonia national football team, and was part of the team that won two tournaments of the Prince of Asturias Cup in the 1920s, winning the inter-regional competition in 1923-24 and in 1926. Piera scored two goals in the infamous final of the 1923-24 edition against a Castile/Madrid XI, the first in a 4-4 draw and the second two days later in the replay, netting the winner in a 3-2 victory that saw Catalonia lift their second Prince of Asturias Cup trophy.[3]
