------------------
Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o is unconcerned about topping the goalscoring charts and only cares about retaining the title and winning the Champions League. "I'm not obsessed by it," Eto'o said on Tuesday. "If I was allowed to choose I would much rather win the league and the Champions League.
Eto'o was pipped for the Spanish top scorer award by Villarreal's Diego Forlan, who scored 25 to his 24. And this time around Villa is threatening to catch the 25-year-old Cameroon international, one behind him on 23 and banging them in as Valencia look to at least cement second place.
"I score goals because it is my job and to help Barcelona win games, not because I want to end the season as top scorer," Eto'o said.
"At the start of the season I set myself a target to beat the number of goals I scored last year in all competitions and I've done that. Last time I scored 29 and this time I'm already on 31."
Barcelona will win a second successive league title if they beat Celta Vigo on Wednesday, a prospect Eto'o relishes just as much as their Champions League final against Arsenal in two weeks.
"The Champions League is an extra prize, but the best teams don't always reach the final," he said. "The league is different because there are a lot more games and in the end it is consistency rather than luck that counts."
"We will be going to Paris to win the game and bring back the Cup .... But a one-off game is totally unpredictable and anything can happen.
"There is no clear favourite in this game. We are Barcelona, but we are up against a great team with a lot of stars and they deserve to be in the final just as much as we do."
