“Bravo Real Madrid the club where it all started for me, on their impressive victory last night,” Eto’o wrote on Facebook, much to the delight of his fans.

It is also kind to note that despite a successful spell at Barcelona, where he won the Champions League, Eto’o was actually a Real Madrid player at the start of his career in Europe.

He spent three years at Madrid from 1997 to 2000, but only managed to make three appearances, before eventually securing a move to Mallorca, a club he played for on loan before hand.

Eto’o is one of the few top football stars who have played or both Real Madrid and Barcelona but still manage to get love from both sets of fans.
