AFCON: We’ll get our revenge – Samuel Eto’o reacts as Morocco eliminates Cameroon

President of the Cameroonian Football Federation, Samuel Eto’o, has reacted to the Indomitable Lions’ elimination from the ongoing AFCON tournament in Morocco.

Eto’o was present at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat as Morocco defeated Cameroon 2-0 in the AFCON quarter-final on Friday.

Brahim Diaz and Ismael Saibari scored the goals for the host country against Cameroon.

Speaking after the match, Eto’o delivered a powerful and emotional locker-room speech to the Indomitable Lions players and coaching staff after the defeat to the Atlas Lions.

The former Barcelona and Chelsea striker said Cameroon will get their revenge in the next edition of the AFCON.

“Seeing you sad, I’ve tears in my eyes,” Eto’o told Cameroon players in the dressing room.

“But you accomplished it like the Cameroonians you are. I can only be proud of you. Thank you for all your contributions.

“This is our first victory, guys, believe me. The next AFCON, we are coming to win it. Hear me well, boys, and start preparing from today. We will take our revenge. We didn’t see a group with a scandal. It’s thanks to you, too.”
