African legend Samuel Eto'o lifts lid on feud with Pep Guardiola at Barcelona

Samuel Eto'o has accused Pep Guardiola of not 'understanding Barcelona squad' despite leading them to their first treble in the 2008-09 season.

Eto'o had a fall-out with the manager and found regular playing time limited with Guardiola opting to field a young Lionel Messi in what turned out to be his last season at the Camp Nou.

Despite the gaffer's preference, the ex-Cameroon international ended the campaign as Barca's top scorer in the Spanish top-flight with 30 goals and also scored the opener in their 2-0 defeat of Manchester United in the 2009 Champions League final.
