On this day, 15 years ago, history was made by one of Africa’s greatest footballers. Samuel Eto’o, the indomitable Cameroonian striker, etched his name into football folklore by achieving what no other player had done before — winning the treble with two different clubs in back-to-back seasons.

In 2009, he was a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s legendary Barcelona side that swept La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League. The very next season, in 2010, Eto’o moved to Inter Milan, where under the guidance of José Mourinho, he repeated the incredible feat by conquering Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the UEFA Champions League once again.

A masterclass in consistency, leadership, and clutch performances — Eto’o didn’t just win; he dominated two of Europe’s biggest stages in the span of two unforgettable years.
