Barca striker vows to give his all against United
Samuel Eto'o is hoping Barcelona can round off their season in style by taking the UEFA Champions League crown.
Pep Guardiola's side have enjoyed a spectacular 2008/09 campaign, snatching the Primera Liga title back from arch-rivals Real Madrid and tasting glory in the Copa del Rey.
They will now go in search of an unprecedented Treble on Wednesday when they meet Manchester United in the final of Europe's premier club competition.
Cameroonian superstar Eto'o knows what it takes to secure the continent's top prize, having helped Barca overcome Arsenal in 2006, and he is hoping to be celebrating again when the Catalan giants head to Rome in midweek.
"The thing I remember about the final in Paris (against the Gunners) is the fact that we won," Eto'o said in
The Times.
"That is what really matters in a final and that is what matters this time. Although we have won a lot of things, this is the most important game of the season.
"If we win this game, it will round off a season that people will remember for a long time. We're on great form at the moment and I think we can produce a great game."
Team player
So desperate is Eto'o to get his hands on the Champions League trophy on Wednesday, he has vowed to run '80,000 kilometres at the Rome final'.
"Every car has his own petrol," he said.
"Some cars have problems to start again when they stop for a while. So there are players that want to run even more kilometres even if they play every game.
"It depends on the body of each player. I want to play always, but nothing will stop me from running 80,000 kilometres at the Rome final, if it is necessary.
"I can have a good day or a bad day, but I expect to run a lot.
"Nothing will stop me running what I have to run for my team. I can play well or badly, but one thing I will never fail to do is run."
