José Manuel Pinto
José Manuel Pinto Colorado (born 8 November 1975) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
After making a name for himself at Celta, with which he made his La Liga debut, he signed for Barcelona in 2008, going on to act as backup for Víctor Valdés for the vast majority of his spell and being part of squads that won numerous titles, including three national championships and two Champions Leagues.
Pinto appeared in 160 top-flight games over 16 seasons, also representing Real Betis.
Born in El Puerto de Santa María, Province of Cádiz, Andalusia, Pinto was a product of Real Betis' youth system. He made his La Liga debut for the club's first team in the 1997–98 campaign (one game as a second-half substitute against Racing de Santander).
Unable to dislodge Toni Prats, Pinto joined Celta de Vigo a year later. He went on to win the Ricardo Zamora Trophy for the 2005–06 season after allowing just 29 goals in 37 appearances, a goals per match ratio of 0.78. He was also eventually awarded the captain's armband, totalling 125 games in the top division and 56 in the Segunda División as well as competing in the UEFA Champions League (in 2003–04, although backing up Pablo Cavallero in the domestic league, he would appear in five group-stage matches as Celta progressed to the round of 16) and the UEFA Cup.
Pinto signed on loan for Barcelona on 18 January 2008, with the player arriving as cover for the injured Albert Jorquera after the latter damaged knee ligaments during the festive break. He made his debut on 26 April, in a 2–0 away loss to Deportivo de La Coruña. His second match also ended in defeat, as Mallorca came up from behind 2–0 to win 3–2 at the Camp Nou.
On 30 May 2008, Barcelona signed Pinto on a permanent deal for two years and €500,000. In his first full season he was first-choice in the Copa del Rey which was won, including the final with Athletic Bilbao.
On 22 October 2010, UEFA opened a disciplinary case, charging Pinto with "improper conduct" following his actions in a Champions League group stage match against Copenhagen two days earlier. Allegedly, he whistled to fool opponent player César Santin – who was running through on goal in the 26th minute – into thinking he was offside, leading him to stop, believing that the referee, Stéphane Lannoy, had blown his whistle; the referee allowed the play to continue and did not show Pinto a yellow card for the alleged deception. Following the game, Barcelona strongly distanced itself from their player's conduct. The incident was captured on video, showing the goalkeeper apparently whistling and then gloating over the incident; after the investigation was concluded, he was suspended for two games.
