Eto'o: I'll Leave If We Don't Win

Samuel Eto'o has fired a sensational warning ahead of the Champions League clash with Manchester United, declaring that he will leave if he does not win a title with Barcelona next season.

Win Or Bust

The Cameroon international has been one of the few star players along with Lionel Messi not said to be unsettled at the club, but threw himself into the transfer window by suggesting very clearly that he is getting frustrated.

"If next year we continue like this year, yes," he said, responding to a question on whether he could also leave Barcelona. "I want to win titles, and if I can't win them here, I will win them at another club."

Elaborating further, Eto'o affirmed that if this were to happen, he wouldn't play for another Spanish club, as he believes he has achieved all he has to in the country.

“But in Spain my cycle has finished. I have touched the ceiling in Barcelona so if I leave I will go abroad to another league."

The Cameroon internationa has recently attracted interest from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea, although clubs from Italy have also come into the picture.

United Favourites But,

In relation to their Champions League semi-final showdown with Manchester United, Eto'o believes Barcelona can overturn the form book that makes Manchester United the favourites.

"Manchester [United] are the favourites. But we always have to wait and see what happens in these types of matches. It is an extra motivation with them being the favourites," he said.

"At Barca we can't say we have won many European Cups. Being able to win it for a third time should do a lot to motivate us. I am sure we will win and go through to the final in Moscow.”

He admitted, though, that the current dip in form was something that could not be explained: “What has caused this dip in form? I ask myself that question. Football reflects life. Sometimes things happen to you that you cannot explain.


“With all the players we have we draw or lose some games without understanding why. There is no explanation."

Europe Is Different

“In the Champions League, though, we feel well," he continued. Indeed Barcelona are as yet unbeaten, with six wins and two draws, and having scored 18 and let in just five. "We’re just three games away from being able to lift the trophy with the big ears.


“It’s the game of the season for us. We have also recovered a key player in Messi but he alone cannot win the game. All of us must play well. We don’t fear United. We have respect for them - as I hope they do for us."

Finally, he made it clear that Barcelona had to worry most of all about themselves: “Before any other team our problem is Barca itself. If we play at our level we will give them problems. We’re in the semi-finals of the Champions League and there’s no bigger motivation than that.”
