Samuel Eto'o moves up goalscorer table
Berta Brau
With just three goals to go before he reaches a hundred in the League, Samuel Eto'o is still moving up the list of all-time Barça goalscorers. The Cameroon striker is now in equal third place in the table for finding the net for Barça in the League.
Samuel Eto'o has scored 97 goals in 128 League matches for Barça at a rate of 0.75 per game. He is
now tied in third place in the list of all-time Barça marksmen with Mariano Martín, who played for
the club in the 1940s.
Only behind Kubala and César
Only two players, Kubala and César Rodríguez, have now scored more League goals for
the Catalans. Ladislau Kubala found the net on 131 occasions to put him in second place, while in
top spot is César Ródriguez who scored 195 goals in 287 League games before leaving the club after
the 1955 season.
Amazing rate
Eto’o has been on a roll this season with 19 strikes in 19 League outings to average a
goal a game, including a hat-trick against Almeria and four goals against Valladolid. His next
target is to beat the hundred mark in the League, which he might do this coming Sunday away at
Racing.
