His Copa Sudamericana debut came on 25 August against Universitario de Sucre as a substitute in a 3–1 home victory at Estadio Monumental.

Because of the injury of the Colombian playmaker Macnelly Torres, Diego Cagna opted to start Rabello during the club's last games. His impressive performances made many clubs of Europe interested in him. On 5 December 2010, in the last game of the 2010 Chilean Primera División, Rabello scored his first goal for the Cacique in the 50th minute in a 4–2 home victory.

Sevilla
