Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi formed a dynamic strike partnership when the Argentine was coming through at Barcelona and Eto’o has looked back on that time by pointing out that he was the bigger name back then.
During an interview in which he was asked about rising prospect Ansu Fati, the Cameroonian made the interesting comment.
“No, he played with me, it’s different,” Eto’o joked when the journalist said he’d played with Messi at the Camp Nou.
Messi played with me, I didn’t play with Messi.
“In my time, Messi played with me. It’s totally different.”
