Inter Milan’s Eto’o thanks Barcelona fans for reception
Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'o thanked Barcelona fans for the reception he received upon his return to the Nou Camp last night.
Barca proved too strong in the Champions League clash, winning 2-0.
Eto'o said afterwards: "It's a special evening, both fans and teammates have made me feel a genuine affection, made me feel at home.
"However the coach was right, the difference between Inter and Barca we have seen, they did get the ball and we ran after him.
"Scoring is important to me, I hope to do so soon in the Champions League, maybe against Rubin Kazan it would be nice to score a decisive goal.
"What is lacking at this Inter compared to Barcelona? The ambition, the desire to achieve certain goals, and I say that soon we'll find this mentality."

Funny reading this after Eto'o and Inter dumped Barca out of the Champions League six months later... everyone wondering why Barca let Eto'o go for Ibra when Eto'o didnt even want to go...
I don't think the gulf in quality between teams like Inter and Barcelona are all that great. Losing against such sides should never be considered a failure either, as you can only get better in european competition by playing against them to begin with. Inter rely too much on their reputation in europe, which isn't as good as they think it is. Maybe if they shrug that off then they can win the trohpy.
I am a real registerd barca fance since 199. I could have luv eto'o 2 score even doe dey did't won, bcos of whau guadiola did 2 him after wining every title. U trow him away like a waste product. Well i'lld like 2 see eto'o wearing barca 9 jesey.
