Chelsea's Didier Drogba believes that Samuel Eto'o has matured in recent seasons, while revealing his admiration for the current Barcelona side that remind him of the team that won the Champions League three years ago.
The Chelsea forward was asked for his thoughts on Barcelona and their Cameroonian star Eto'o, who has yet to commit himself to a new contract at Camp Nou.
Last summer Drogba was one name put forward to replace Eto'o when it appeared that Pep Guardiola was preparing to sell the former Mallorca star and replace him.
"He has grown up with his behaviour. Two or three years ago he would have reacted badly to what happened last summer," Drogba told Sportsweek.
"Now he is much calmer. He is more mature."
Drogba has been impressed with Barcelona as well as Eto'o and thinks that they have a team that are reminiscent of the side that tasted European glory in 2006.
"The team is, quite frankly, impressive. The great players that they have are playing as a team and they are very effective," he continued.
"They remind me of the Barça side that won the Champions League in the Stade de France.
"[Lionel] Messi has replaced Ronaldinho and at present he is one of the best forwards in Europe, if not the best."
