Between 1962 and 1964, he played the Mexican Supercup final three times in a row and even scored two goals in these games: in 1963 the only goal of his team in the 3-1 defeat against city rivals Club Deportivo Oro and in 1964 the important 1-0 lead in a 2-0 win against arch-rivals America . In addition, Barba was actively involved in the last two championship titles from the Campeonísimo era in the 1963/64 and 1964/65 seasons.
