Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini feels he changed the face of football in Spain.

The Chilean spent time in charge of Villarreal, Malaga and Real Madrid in the La Liga.

Pellegrini told El Mercurio : "I changed the way football was played in Spain, using loose midfielders instead of fixed midfielders, and that was then adopted by the Spanish team.

"In the Spanish league, before I went to Villarreal, they put the forwards on the wings to move the ball up and down the pitch but I started to use roaming midfielders who created space."
