Samuel Eto'o Back To Haunt Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Barcelona will be minus the suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a crucial encounter against Valencia on Sunday, which might be a blessing given his form at the moment. Pep Guardiola’s side actually played better down a man in Almeria last week following Ibrahimovic’s sending off for elbowing Domingo Cisma in the face, and the Swede hasn’t performed well in several weeks.

In the long run, Guardiola knows he needs his talented striker back on track, but Ibrahimovic seems to be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Not only has his lousy play contributed greatly to Barca’s sputtering form of late, it hass brought back a debate that appeared to be settled earlier this season. @Goal
