Samuel Eto'o was one of the most feared strikers of his generation and he was an integral part of the Barcelona squad after moving from Mallorca. Having started off at Real Madrid as a teenager and leaving due to lack of chances, he became a Barcelona legend after showing his capabilities.

But Pep Guardiola shipped off the Cameroonian along with €46 million for the services of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter Milan. But this deal turned out to be disastrous for the Swede as he left an Inter Milan squad which went on to win the treble the very next season with Eto'o and Milito leading the charge for Jose Mourinho's legendary team.

Zlatan ended up being loaned out to AC Milan and never found the same success he had at Inter Milan, until he landed at PSG. We can safely say that Barcelona regretted the sale of Samuel Eto'o
