The formidable Samuel Eto’o

The Barcelona team of the 2000s decade was an incredible one. You can try online betting Ghana on 1xBet website on the excellent current Catalan squad. This Barcelona team had some incredible players, such as:

Beginnings on the opposite sideArrival to Barcelona
  • Ronaldinho Gaúcho;
  • Deco;
  • Xavi;
  • Carles Puyol;
  • and Samuel Eto’o.

The Cameroonian was a key component of this team. He scored multiple goals and formed excellent partnerships with players like Thierry Henry. He even partnered with Lionel Messi when the Argentinian was just starting his career.

Eto’o is considered as one of the best African players of all time. He was also one of the best strikers of his generation. The 1xBet Ghana website is the best place to try online betting on Barcelona and all the other teams of the Spanish La Liga.

Beginnings on the opposite side

Despite Eto’o becoming a world-class player while playing for Barcelona, the Cameroonian actually started his career at Real Madrid. Both squads are featured at http://1xbet.com.gh/live/, where it is possible to make live bets on all the matches where they play.

The player was promoted to the senior Real Madrid team when he was only 16 years old. Despite being highly talented, he also faced a lot of competition. For this reason, he was loaned to other teams in Spain in order to gain experience. In 2000, he secured a permanent move to Mallorca, where his career would finally take off. Mallorca, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and all the other squads of the amazing Spanish La Liga can be wagered on at the 1xBet website.

Arrival to Barcelona

Florentino Pérez, Real Madrid’s president at the time, apparently thought that letting Eto’o go was a mistake. For this reason, he entered negotiations with Mallorca to get him back. However, those negotiations broke down, and Barcelona quickly joined them. All squads of Spanish football can be wagered on at the www.1xbet.com.gh/line/Football website.

Eventually, Eto’o joined Barcelona prior to the 2004-05 season. His impact was immediate. He was key in helping the Catalans to secure the La Liga title of that season. However, he also caused a fair share of controversy.

When the championship celebrations were taking place, Eto’o took to the stage, grabbed a microphone and started shouting “Madrid, salute the champions”. The Spanish football federation fined the player after the episode. Apparently, the player later regretted the situation, and asked for forgiveness from Real Madrid.

Eto’o would continue being a crucial player for Barcelona. At the same time, he also played actively for the Cameroonian national team, where he became its top scorer. The 1xBet website also features Cameroon and many other African sides, on which can be done lots of wagers can be made.
