Riverola joined Eredivisie club Vitesse Arnhem in January 2011 on a six-month-long loan, as the Dutch were managed by countryman Albert Ferrer, himself a former Barcelona player.[5] In July he returned to Barcelona and its reserves, alongside Isaac Cuenca,[6] and scored five goals in 32 games throughout the campaign[7][8][9][10][11] to help the B's finish eighth.

On 6 December 2011, Riverola made his first and only official appearance for the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Sergi Roberto in the dying minutes of a 4–0 home victory over FC BATE Borisov in the UEFA Champions League.[12][13]

Milan on 20 January 2013.[18]

In August 2013, Riverola was loaned to RCD Mallorca of the Spanish second tier,[19] and he spent the second half of the 2014–15 season with SC Rheindorf Altach of the Austrian Bundesliga, on loan with an option make the move permanent.[20]
