A tall, strong player for his age, Pacifico can hold his own in duels, while he is also capable of carrying the ball out of defence. Prior to his move to Barcelona, the teenager made 40 first-team appearances for Defensor Sporting, even scoring two goals in the process. Pacifico has played 15 times for the Uruguayan U-20 national team, having previously represented the South American country at the U-17 level.
