Samuel Eto in his prime was one of the best strikers in the world. Similar to Zlatan he too is not very fond of Pep Guardiola. Pep did not think that Samuel was good enough for the Barcelona starting eleven. He went on to publically state that in his first public briefing at Camp Nou.

Despite that Samuel Eto was instrumental in helping Barcelona win the double that season. Unfortunately, Pep is said to have not appreciated Samuel and eventually did everything he could to make Samuel leave Barcelona.

Eto'o later joined Mourinho at Inter Milan where he won the Champions League after defeating Guardiola's Barcelona in the semi-finals. He spoke about Pep stating that "He (Guardiola) shook hands with me when I was at Inter and I played against Barca, but this was just for the cameras and TV. Behind the scenes before the match, he did not greet me."
