Cameroon striker scored in last 16 win Bayern

 

Inter president Massimo Moratti has heaped praise on prolific hitman Samuel Eto'o in the aftermath of the Cameroon international's superb performance in Tuesday's Champions League win over Bayern Munich.

Eto'o scored once and had a hand in the other two goals in a dramatic 3-2 win over the Bavarians that saw the Nerazzurri keep dreams of retaining their title alive.

The 30-year-old attacker joined Inter from Barcelona in the summer of 2009 in a deal that saw Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic go the other way, and Moratti has hailed the transfer as a fantastic piece of business for the Italian club.

"I'm not sure if the deal that brought Eto'o to the club was my best piece of transfer business ever, but I really think it was a great piece of business for us," Moratti was quoted as saying by Tuttosport.

"Eto'o is fantastic. I do not want to take anything away from Ibrahimovic, but for everyone it was really a great deal to get Eto'o. Samuel is truly extraordinary."

Eto'o has been in superb form this season and has already netted 19 Serie A goals for Inter. Additionally, the striker has scored eight goals in the Champions League, and he has climbed to 47th spot in the Castrol Rankings following his good performances in recent months.
