Having started his career at Olimpia, Barrios stood out in particular for his good performances in the 1939 South American Championship. He was signed by Huracán, where he played for just two matches in April 1939, later moving to Unión Santa Fé.[1]

In 1942 he arrived at Boca Juniors where he made 22 appearances and scored 10 goals over two years, becoming national champion in 1943.[2][3] He later played for Fluminense but only played a single match with the team,[4] moving to São Paulo where he made 98 appearances, scoring 40 goals and becoming state champion in 1945 and 1946. He returned to Paraguayan football with Olimpia in 1948 and later played for Cerro Porteño.[5][6][7][8]

Barrios participated in four editions of the South American Championship: 1937, 1939, 1942 and 1949, scoring 3 goals in 1939, another 3 goals in 1942, and 2 goals in 1949.[9][10][11][12]

He also had a brief experience as a coach for Paraguay in two friendly matches, alongside Aurelio González, against Brazil and Chile, teams that were in preparation for the 1974 FIFA World Cup.[13]
