@@masters.1000 that is false look at their goalscoring records they battered teams like bayern & man united (during fergie days) & juventus (in their prime) & liverpool & psg.. etc
The game today is totally different. Back then there were many superstars in one team. Nowadays football is played like a system and typically played around 1-3 players on the team. CR7 has teams played around him so it’s one of the big factors as to why he has scored so many goals.
The best African footballer ever, 2 times scored in the UCL final (Not garbage time goals). 3 times UCL Winner, 2 treble in row. Most goals La Liga for barça on 2008/09 season (30 goals, more than even teammate Messi). Remember and important goals (like vs Chelsea on Stamford Bridge 2010 or vs Bayern 2011) Always smile, always respectable. Intelligent, diligent and quality. The real king Leon.
There's a certain type of finisher that I dub The Assassin. They strike the ball violently, ruthlessly, unexpectedly, giving the victim no time to react. Like a knife slipped expertly between the ribs. Samuel Eto'o was the ultimate assassin. So many of these strikes are with the outside of the boot or the toe, from strange angles, past the keeper before he can even set himself. A truly lethal striker.
Agreed. He is like Bruce Lee playing football. Very efficient with all types of finish and his shots are so sharp. Almost no other striker gives this impression. He is one of a kind.
Unreal man nobody talks about the back to back treble winner and he did that with two different teams in back to back years first Barca then inter the year after absolutely insane man Eto’o is a beast of a striker one of the best to do it no question Mr clutch up
I had the privilege of seeng him play live once. It was the Spanish Super Cup final for Real Mallorca against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in 2003. I'd never even heard of him before the game, and I don't think he scored - but he really caught the eye and impressed me with his movement and technique. And to put that into perspective, that game was the first time I saw Zidane, Luis Figo and R9 live as well!
@@jeremiecooper141 how did he deserve to win? Ronaldinho was Barcelona's best player and Cameroon did not even qualify for that year's world championship. Eto'o was good but he was competing against zidane, Ronaldo, Henry, shevchenko, Figo and all those great players. I'm sorry bro but eto'o never had an argument.

The best striker in the world when he was at barca. Ultra instinct striker with incredible pace and mobility

Nowadays it's just too easy to score.

You should factor in the fact that Eto'o has never been the star player of Barcelona, unlike Messi or CR7 in Real Madrid.

True
@@GeorgeTooCur1ous I agree , either him or Ronaldhino should have won that one
Okocha, Weah, Kanu and Drogba are up there too. Kanu and Okocha are criminally underrated tho.
Eto was super fast. Crazy acceleration. World class finishing too

big game player. always delivered in the big stages! best #9 during 2004-2011

Best African Striker 💥
Thank you for the memories legend
30 goals and three Champions League titles, his goals are few but of great value
A very deadly striker. Very oportunistic. Can't sleep as a defender, knowing very well that the panther is around
Real traditional CF. The street will never forget.
Greatest finisher of all times.
He sure loved scoring against Chelsea, no wonder they signed him
He was great. No too much dribble he just appear in the right spot of the box
4:54 great movement
Unfairly treated by Pep.
El primer gol con el Mallorca❤
Gli occhi di Samuel😢😢😢🖤💙🖤💙
Best ever 9 shirted player of all time. Self confidence, excellent player authority , swift, technical, wise and very intelligent in his play style.
Etoo is the GOAT In Africa
Legend ❤️❤️❤️
finally 3 champions league for samuel eto' oooooooo
King of kings 😊
What a fantastic player
King Eto'o is one of the greatest finishers of all time
Je deserved Ballon D’Or at his prime like others but we all know why he didn’t get it.
Eto'o was a world class finisher but at no year did he deserve to win it.

4:39 Grande Goal
Just an observation but i just watched Messi's UCL goals before this and Eto has much more entertaining goals
Eto'o >> Drogba ALL 🤬DAY!!
They don't make CFs like this anymore
My favorite African player.
Eto’o and Balotelli were so much fun to watch
Yup that early 2000's premier league pitch is similar to the field like we used to play on. Rough and uneven surface but that's the fun
it was intentional...to distrupt barca's passes
SCORING IN 2 UCL FINALS AND WINNING 3 UCLS 2 WITH FC BARCELONA AND ONE WITH INTER MILAN ONE OF THE BEST MUSLIM STRIKERS OF ALL-TIME SAMUEL ETO'O ❤
Samuel Eto’o face!
Extremely underrated
He liked to score in stamford bridge !
Good boy 👍
Legende Africain
The only language that Phil's understand..scoring goals
Супер гравець
Messi assisted Eto'o in his first ever UCL hattrick 🤜🏿🤛🏿
i miss Suarez and Eto real no.9 for barca
🐐🐐Goat African player in UCL
First here and from Cameroon
Wow, Iniesta gave the assist for his first Barca goal in the CL
💙🖤💙💪🇨🇲🇨🇲
Best African player ever😅😅😅
Pep just hated Etoo,how can you sell Etoo just to replace him with zlatan??
Merci
He knew what they call demarcation, positioning.
Eto has been there since the beginning! 😅
the song is a banger
Do you know the song name?
Barcelona then was 🔥
1:49 that's Messi first assist in his caree, in case you didnt notice
Second greatest striker of all time. Only behind Ronaldo Luis Nazario.
