Eto'o names best player he's played with...and it's not Messi

Samuel Eto's has named former Barcelona teammate Andres Iniesta as the greatest player he's ever shared a dressing room with.

Eto'o and Iniesta enjoyed some memorable years at Camp Nou where he spent five seasons, winning three La Liga titles, two Champions League, two Super Cups and a Copa del Rey.

The 38-year-old believes naming current Blaugrana captain Lionel Messi as his best ex-teammate would have been too easy, and has instead plumped for Iniesta...and his superb technical ability.

“I shared a dressing-room with many great players,” Eto’o told LaLiga Africa.
