a écrit le 14 mars 2010 à 23h49 Barca's defeat there in 2005.
The three-times African Player of the Year accused members of Chelsea's ground staff of calling him a "monkey" after the 4-2 loss against Mourinho's side.
Eto'o almost moved to Manchester City last summer but the club's board pulled out of the deal when he demanded more money at the latter stage of negotiations.
Manchester United also considered signing him but were put off by his wage demands and what they saw as his dubious motives for wanting to play in the Premier League.
Despite his uneasy relations with English clubs, he does not feel in any awe of Chelsea's much-vaunted defenders, having got the better of them more than once in the past.
Pedigree
"Chelsea may have a great international back line but I have shown my own pedigree at the top level and I don't feel in any way inferior to them," he said.
"One thing I will say is that their defenders know me well from the times we played against each other when I was at Barcelona.
"This not is not a duel between Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti or between Samuel Eto'o and Didier Drogba. It is between Chelsea and Inter.
"Mourinho going back to Chelsea is a big thing for him but he is very professional and will be prepared for the situation.
"I had the same thing when I went back to the Nou Camp during the group stages earlier this season.
"I think this is a game where there will be goals - and we are determined to prevail."
