Thiago Motta's red card at Camp Nou on 28 April 2010 turned Cameroon's finest striker into a right-back, and Eto'o spent the rest of that Champions League semi-final defending against the club that had sold him. His list runs to AFCON titles in 2000 and 2002, Olympic gold the same year, three Champions Leagues, the only back-to-back treble won at two different clubs, a record 18 AFCON goals and four African Footballer of the Year awards. Career record: 118 caps and 56 goals for Cameroon; club career at FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, Antalyaspor; honours include Golden Foot 2015, African Footballer of the Year 2003.
