José Pinto Colorado

Pinto signed on loan for FC Barcelona on 18 January 2008. He arrived 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 match against Deportivo de La Coruña, which Barcelona lost 2–0. His second match also ended in defeat, as Barcelona lost 3–2 (despite being 2–0 up) at home to RCD Mallorca.
On 30 May 2008, Barcelona signed Pinto on a permanent deal, for two years and €500,000.[1] During his first full season, he was first-choice in the Copa del Rey, which Barcelona won, including the final against 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 F.C. 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, Copenhagen strongly distanced itself from Pinto's conduct.[2] The incident was captured on video, showing the goalkeeper apparently whistling and then gloating over the incident.[3] After the investigation was concluded, he was suspended for two games.[4]
On 20 February 2011, Pinto made his first league appearance for Barcelona in more than two years (due to a knee injury to Víctor Valdés), playing in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao and performing well, notably saving a Fernando Llorente header.[5] Again, he started in the domestic cup campaign, including the final against Real Madrid, a 0–1 extra-time loss;[6] the following week, against the same team, in the Champions League semifinals' first leg, he was sent off by referee Wolfgang Stark after an half-time altercation involving himself (he was on the bench), Álvaro Arbeloa and Real Madrid match delegate Chendo, in a 2–0 away win.[7]
In 2011–12, Pinto was once again the starting goalkeeper in the Spanish Cup campaign, with Barcelona again reaching the final.[8] His first league appearance only came on 29 April 2012, in a 7–0 away routing of Rayo Vallecano.[9]
