Emi started the 2014–15 season still with the B-team and in the third level, notably scoring twice in a 3–0 home success against CF Fuenlabrada. On 5 December 2014 he played his first match as a professional, replacing Ángel Lafita in a 3–0 Copa del Rey win against SD Eibar at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
Emi made his La Liga debut on 1 February 2015, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 away loss against UD Almería. He scored his first goal in the category on 27 September, netting the second in a 3–0 home win against Levante UD.
On 5 July 2016, despite suffering team relegation, Emi signed a new five-year deal with the Madrid outskirts side.
