Born in Madrid, Pascual joined Rayo Vallecano's youth setup in 2017, from AD Unión Adarve.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 26 August 2018, starting in a 2–1 Tercera División home win against CD San Fernando de Henares.[2]

Pascual scored his first senior goal on 2 December 2018, netting the opener in a 3–2 loss at DAV Santa Ana,[3] and finished the campaign with five goals in 30 appearances. He made his professional debut the following 17 August, starting and being sent off in a 2–2 home draw against CD Mirandés in the Segunda División.[4]

On 19 July 2021, after contributing with six league appearances as his side achieved promotion to La Liga, Pascual was loaned to Villarreal CF B for one year.[5] On 3 July 2022, after another promotion, he moved to second division side UD Ibiza also in a temporary deal.[6]

Upon returning, Pascual was assigned to the main squad of Rayo in La Liga, but only featured for the club in Copa del Rey matches. On 18 August 2024, he signed a one-year deal with Atlético Madrid B in Primera Federación.[7]
