BARCELONA (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said his single season at Real Madrid was the "most painful" period of his coaching career and criticised the club's transfer policy when he was in charge.

City face Real Madrid next Tuesday in a Champions League semi-final first leg, offering Pellegrini a chance of revenge against the team he coached in 2009/10.
