Xavi hailed his team-mate as the best striker in the world.
“I think Eto’o is calm and a crucial member of the squad,” Xavi said. “For me, that is the best signing we have made. He is the best centre forward in the world.”
Xavi also took time to praise new boss Pep Guardiola
“He is a perfectionist and very meticulous,” he continued.
“He has football fever, almost literally but in a good sense and is extraordinary.
“I know that he can convince you of things with just three phrases.”
