9 - Samuel Eto'o

[Barcaman]

Don't be surprised if he scores in his 3rd CL final. How many players have done that btw?

 

[Aryagorn]

none I suppose? really missed him

True Legend.

Our vanity has come back to haunt us...

I admire his honesty.

I wonder which players he had in mind.

Such a great Interview, Tearjerker!

Truee Club Legend!

 

[Richard.H]

That video really makes me wish he was still in barca

 

[Metaphysical]

can't say it any better than that guy:

"great memories of him, but what remains is the club, the players just pass."

and eto'o knows it, hence "exactly." and then later expanding on why he agrees.

but yeah, very nice interview. thanks for sharing. eto'o's a much warmer and more likeable character than zlatan when he wants to be - but he can also be a douche. and for all his lovelyness, it's clear he never got on with pep for one reason or another, which is why he's not here today (and funny how things work out, would pedro have emerged if eto'o had stayed?) that video is also intensely manipulative through the editing and score. I mean, it's brilliantly made (which is why it's so effective) but it emphasises the feeling of missing eto'o.

still, gracies samuel.

and for all his lovelyness, it's clear he never got on with pep for one reason or another, which is why he's not here today

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I remember Pep didn't want to work with Eto even before he started to?

He didn't even want to give him a chance, but he already wanted to ship him out alongside Deco and Ronaldinho. In other words, in Pep's mind Eto was doomed even before they actually met.

I think Eto is not here not because of Eto. In fact, he made more than enough to stay, but we all know about Pep's "feeling".

 

[yusuf]

i think it was because he was black

 

[Hamzah]

eto'o may be the first to score in three different finals but the top scorer in finals is puskas i think.

 

[Metaphysical]

di stefano has scored in 5 finals with a total of 7 goals.

puskas has scored in 1 final with a total of 4 goals.

 

[Hamzah]

sorry i got the two mixed up.

 

[maxan10]

but none have scored in 2 consecutive finals based on the new champs league format and he's aiming for 3 total finals to score in. would be a great achievement.
