Eto'o has scored 25 goals in La Liga this season

Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o says a friendly feud with Cameroon compatriot Geremi is spurring him on to win next week's Champions League final.

His Spanish club face English side Arsenal in the decider on 17 May in Paris.

Geremi, who plays for the English club Chelsea, has two winners' medals from the 1998 and 2000 finals which he won with the Spanish club Real Madrid.

"Geremi is always flaunting it in my face that he has won two European Cups," Eto'o said.

"Things like this get to me. But I ask him if he wants to bet on who will end up winning more European Cups, then he shuts up."

Eto'o was also a Real Madrid player when they won the Champions League title in 1998.

The 25-year-old, who was Barcelona highest scorer with 25 goals this season, said: "If we win next week it will be my first Cup.

"The one Real won in 1998 I don't consider mine because although I was in the official photo, I didn't do much else.

"I would be a liar if I said I didn't want to score next week.
