Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said he has no grudge to bear against former club Real Madrid ahead of their Champions League semifinal clash.
But Pellegrini admitted he was not happy with being sacked by the La Liga club after just one season at the helm in 2010.
"I was upset at the time because we played so well and Fifa 17 Coins for Sale did not win the title, " the Chilean said as City prepares to host Madrid at the Etihad Stadium in Tuesday's first leg. "We scored more than a hundred goals and when we played at Barcelona we did not deserve to lose but were beaten 1-0 through an unbelievable goal by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"I was not so upset about getting the sack because I knew that was going to happen all along. I realized after just a few games that I would only be getting one season. "
Pellegrini was plucked from Villarreal to lead a Madrid side that had just acquired Cristiano Ronaldo for a world record fee from Manchester United but could only finish second behind Pep Guardiola's Barcelona at the end of the 2009-10 season.
