Lionel Messi thanked Samuel Eto’o for career-changing advice that fixed ‘two or three’ problems he had as Barcelona kid

SAMUEL ETO’O revealed Lionel Messi thanked him for a piece of career-changing advice in his early days at Barcelona.

The pair played together at the LaLiga giants for six years between the Argentine’s 2003 debut and Eto’o’s 2009 departure for Inter Milan.

And while many tipped the diminutive, fleet-footed young Messi for greatness from an early stage, Eto’o has revealed that his former team-mate felt indebted to his crucial advice.

The 42-year-old told DAZN: “[Messi] confessed to me that, thanks to my advice, which I am not going to reveal, his career had changed.

“One day he said: ‘Thanks to Samuel, my career changed’.
