Former Cameroon striker, Samuel Eto’o, has admitted that he is being made to suffer because of Barcelona’s poor results recently.

The Catalans are yet to win or score in this season’s Champions League.

They have suffered 3-0 defeats to both Bayern Munich and Benfica in their first two fixtures.

In LaLiga, Barca currently occupy the ninth spot with 12 points after seven games, five points behind leaders Real Madrid.

“Recently, Barcelona have made me suffer,” Eto’o was quoted as saying by Marca.

“These are tough times for those of us who love the club.

“It would be hard to accept group stage elimination in the Champions League. I still hope they can go through.”

Barcelona host Valencia after the international break, before facing Real Madrid on October 24.

Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has again told his Italian side, Atalanta, about his desire to leave this summer.

The camp of the Super Eagles’ forward conveyed the player’s decision to the club on Tuesday after Inter presented a written proposal of €42m plus €3m add-ons.

Atalanta are insisting on €50m valuation for the Nigerian international and there is no green light to the move as of now, according to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano.

Meanwhile, as earlier reported, Lookman’s international teammate, Victor Osimhen will land in Istanbul on Wednesday with medical scheduled for Thursday at Galatasaray.
