Barcelona and Inter Milan legend Samuel Eto'o has decried the lack of respect given to African stars on the global scene despite their achievements.
Eto'o, who recently called time on his successful football career, weighed in on the likely winners of the 2019 Ballon d'Or.
The Cameroon legend, though worried they might be chopped off from the selection, backed Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to make the final five shortlist after their incredible 2018-19 season in the Premier League where they finished as joint top scorers with 22 goals each.
