Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti says Samuel Eto'o is critical to their hopes. Moratti made the claim when asked who he felt made the biggest impact at Inter last season.
"That's a difficult question, but I don't think any of the others will get offended if I say Samuel Eto'o," Moratti told Inter Channel.
"He's played at such a high level all year.
"In comparison it would be like taking Messi out of the Barcelona team - without him they may not have achieved everything they did."
