Club career

RCD Mallorca

After joining Real Madrid in 1997, Eto'o trained with Real Madrid B because he was still a minor. Because Real Madrid B were relegated to the Segunda División B (where non-EU players aren't allowed), he was loaned to second division CD Leganés for the 1997-98 season. He was loaned to RCD Mallorca in 1999; in his second season with the Primera Liga side, he scored eleven goals and began to garner praise throughout the league. Mallorca club president Mateo Alemany said of his entertaining style of play, "I doubt if there is any other player in the world who would please the fans more at this moment." At the end of the season, Eto'o signed for a club record $6.3m fee.^[2] He commented on his rise to stardom, "I like it here in Mallorca, I have always been well looked after, the fans appreciate me and I also have a contract that runs until 2007." Eto'o returned the fans' appreciation when he donated €30,000 in meals to travelling Mallorca supporters who made the journey to the Copa del Rey final against Recreativo de Huelva in 2003, which Mallorca won 3-0.

However, his volatile attitude also resulted in several off-pitch incidents. Bartolome Terrassa, a Mallorca beat writer, filed a formal complaint after a run-in with Eto'o in the club's parking lot, accusing the player of saying, "The next time, you are not going to escape; I'm going to kill you." In 2002, Eto'o's former agent, Daniel Argibeaut, also accused the player of assaulting him alongside four accomplices, saying, "They then took off my shoes, which in Cameroon means I am threatened with death."^[3] Eto'o departed Mallorca as the club's all-time leading domestic league scorer with 54 goals when he signed for FC Barcelona in the summer of 2004, for a transfer fee of €24 million after lengthy three-way negotiations with Mallorca and Madrid; Madrid president Florentino Pérez said that Eto'o was expendable as they already had Ronaldo and Raúl signed as strikers.

FC Barcelona

Eto'o made his Barcelona debut in the season opener at Racing Santander on August 29, 2004. After Barcelona won the 2004-05 La Liga title, the team organized a festive party in the Nou Camp, during which Eto'o chanted to the fans, "Madrid, cabrón, saluda al campeón" (roughly: "Madrid, fucker, salute the champion"). The Spanish Football Federation fined Eto'o €12,000 for his comments, for which he later apologized. "If it hadn't been for Real Madrid, I would never have got this far, so I beg forgiveness and hope that people will understand." ^[4] Real Racing Club de Santander, sometimes abbreviated to Racing or Racing Santander, is a Spanish Primera División football club based in Santander which was founded in 1913. ... is the 241st day of the year (242nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

After missing out on last year's Pichichi (top La Liga goalscorer), Eto'o edged out Valencia CF striker David Villa for the award during the final matchday on May 20, 2006, when he scored his 26th goal of the season against Athletic de Bilbao. Eto'o was very gracious to teammates after the game saying, "It has been a team effort; although only one person gets the award, we've worked hard all season and have got our just rewards."^[5] In Spanish football, the Pichichi is the trophy awarded by Spanish sports newspaper Marca to the top goalscorer for each league season. ...

Eto'o also contributed six goals during Barcelona's run to the 2005-06 Champions League title.

Barcelona won the match 2-1, and Eto'o was awarded with the UEFA Best Forward of the Year award for his accomplishments during the CL campaign.^[6] The UEFA Champions League 2005-06 was the 51st edition of the European UEFA Champions League football club tournament. ...

During Barcelona's CL group stage match against Werder Bremen on September 27, 2006, he ruptured the meniscus in his right knee. Barcelona team physician Ricard Pruna originally estimated that the injury would keep him out of action for two to three months.^[8] After the operation, Eto'o's recovery time was increasead to five months, but less than one month later, he was spotted walking on his own power at a MotoGP event.

In a league match against Racing Santander on February 11, Eto'o refused to come on as a substitute. Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard said after the match, "He did not want to come on, I don't know why."^[9] Ronaldinho was critical of Eto'o's actions, saying, "[It] always is important to think about what's best for the team."^[10] Eto'o retorted, "Telling a news conference I didn't want to play is the behaviour of a bad person"^[11], and claimed that he did not come on because he did not have enough time to warm up properly. Three months later, Eto'o said, "These kind of things are usually just speculation and don't come through to me. However, if it is true that I am a problem for my team then I will go. But like I said, I am happy here. The press can write what they want." Following Eto'o's comments, Barcelona president Joan Laporta was quick to quash rumors of transfers involving Eto'o and Ronaldinho.^[12] is the 42nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Racism

Eto'o, like many black footballers in Europe, has experienced racial abuse in some away matches; while some ignore the insults, Eto'o, Barcelona teammate Thierry Henry, and S.L. Benfica defender Marco Zoro have reacted by being outspoken in their criticism and threatening to leave the pitch. Thierry Daniel Henry (pronounced , born 17 August 1977) is a French football player. ... For other uses, see Benfica (disambiguation). ... Marco André Kpolo Zoro (born December 27, 1983 in Abidjan) is an Ivorian football player who currently plays in defence for Benfica. ...

In February 2005, during an away match with Real Zaragoza, Eto'o was the subject of racist taunts by Zaragoza supporters, who began making monkey-like chants and tossed peanuts onto the pitch whenever he had possession of the ball. However, the referee Fernando Carmona Mendez made no mention of the incidents in his match report, commenting only that the behaviour of the crowd was "normal"^[17], but two of the abusers were caught and given five-month sporting-event bans after being identified to police by other spectators.^[18] Eto'o later declared that the punishment was insufficient and that La Romareda should have been closed for at least one year, but Rijkaard told him to concentrate on football and to stop talking about the incident. However, infuriated again by Zaragoza fans' racist chants the next season, Eto'o attempted to walk off the pitch in protest.^[19] His teammates intervened and convinced him to continue playing. Video of the incident captured him saying "No más" ("No more") as he walked to the sidelines.^[20] Real Zaragoza is a Spanish football team from Zaragoza in Aragón. ... La Romareda is the name of the home stadium of Real Zaragoza, in Zaragoza. ...

Due to ongoing racism from La Liga crowds, Eto'o no longer brings family members, especially his children, to matches. "It is something that has affected me personally. I think players, leaders, and the media have to join forces so that no one feels looked down upon because of the colour of their skin. At this moment in time I prefer my children don't go to football matches. In the stands they have to listen to things that are difficult to explain to a child. It is better they aren't exposed to it." ^[21]
