Michel Pineda Ozaeta (born 9 June 1964) is a former professional footballer who played as a striker.
He amassed La Liga totals of 201 matches and 49 goals over six seasons, representing in the competition Espanyol (five years) and Racing de Santander.
The son of Spanish immigrants, Pineda was born in Gien, France, and played mainly in the country of his parents during his career, with spells in his nation of birth with AJ Auxerre and Sporting Toulon Var, appearing rarely in Ligue 1 with the former club over two seasons.
He returned to Spain in the 1984 off-season, signing for RCD Español and making his La Liga debut on 1 September against Atlético Madrid (0–0 home draw, 18 minutes played). In his third year he scored 13 league goals as the Catalans finished third – the league had a second stage, which caused all the teams to play 44 fixtures – netting a career-low with the club five in the 1988–89 campaign, which ended in relegation.

Pineda then returned to France, but moved back to the Iberian Peninsula in January 1993 with Racing de Santander, scoring seven goals in only ten matches as the Cantabrian side returned to the top flight. He added the game's only in the promotion/relegation play-off against Español, in Barcelona. [2]
Pineda finished his career at the age of 32 after one season apiece with UE Lleida and Deportivo Alavés, both in Segunda División.
