Barcelona legend Samuel Eto'o has been filmed appearing to knee someone in the head.

The Cameroonian was in attendance at Brazil's 4-1 victory over South Korea last night.

While leaving Stadium 974 after the match, Eto'o initially seemed to be content taking selfies with fans as he walked.

But in footage captured by La Opinion, the 41-year-old became animated after exchanging words with a man holding a camera.

A clearly fired up Eto'o walked down the camera man, before being initially held back by four other onlookers.

While the man with the camera, who appeared to be a YouTuber with more than 60,000 subscribers, was being led away - he stopped to crouch down, just as Eto'o shook off those trying to calm him.

In a shocking scene, the former Chelsea frontman ran up to the YouTuber, appearing to knee him full in the head.

Despite the force of the blow, the man managed to quickly rise to his feet, with Eto'o being led away from the scene.

After the incident it emerged that it may have been sparked by an argument regarding Cameroon's qualification for the World Cup.

The Indomitable Lions booked their place in Qatar with a victory over Algeria earlier this year.

Algeria were left furious with the refereeing during the second leg of the play-off - even demanding for it to be replayed.

Eto'o, who won 118 caps for his country between 1997 and 2014, is now president of Cameroon's Football Federation.

He has been in Qatar watching his team, and decided to attend last night's match despite Cameroon having been knocked out last week.

The Indomitable Lions lost 1-0 Switzerland before drawing 3-3 with Serbia.

A creditable 1-0 win over Brazil last Friday was not enough to see them through to the round of 16.

In addition to his role with the Cameroon Football Federation, Eto'o has also been in Qatar in his role as a "legacy ambassador" for the tournament.

The former striker has been seen rubbing shoulders with Fifa president Gianni Infantino.

Bad blood flowing from the Cameroon-Algeria World Cup Qualifiers;

It is alleged the YouTuber asked Eto'o Fils: How much did you bribe the referee with?

Not good from a legendary player. What if the guy fainted and died.

Too bad, he should have controlled his anger

Morally & otherwise Didier Drogba Looks better compared to Samuel Eto'fils

Eto fish
He shouldn't have allowed his temper take over him

What a shameful act ...Legacy ambassador my foot

Etochukwu should take a chill pill abeg.

Eto and his anger issues.

Some of these football fans can be very annoying especially North Africans who don’t seem to believe that a sub-saharan country can beat them in football as apparently they are Europeans. I’m sure the guy must have accused Eto of influencing Camerons qualification ahead of algeria, and to even make matters worse while pointing an annoying camera at Etos face.
But still senior man should not have lost his sh!t like that. You’re a football icon.

Vote Tinubu and nothing good will ever happen in ur life again

Tinubu becoming the president will be the biggest disaster Nigeria will ever face as a country . .it will be far far worse than when Hitler rose to power in

Be wise . .vote Peter Obi

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
You don't go harassing public figures all in the name of Journalism. They're Humans too.

You can take a man out of the street, but you can't take the streets out of a man.

He would probably get arrested for this. He should leave Qatar quick

That guy must have said something to warrant that from him. But still not the right way to respond.

Peace is never an option.

Eto is becoming too emotional

He should be careful

Na wa o
Nwa Ebonyi calm down

He serves him right. I like men who the blood in their vein is their country.

Sometimes it's good to be part of the VAWULENCIA community. Still, a white won't attack a black like this, this just screams abuse.

making Africa proud.

I dont know the laws in Qatar.. but if na America...the guy don hammer

The guy should press charges, this is just wrong and to think he's a legend who should know one or two about fans management.
This mofo came to tell us the other time that he should not be mentioned along side theirry Henry, that he was mile ahead, this dude can't even lace henry's boot.
Mofo

If u watch closely u will see the cameraman was taunting him. Had a funny smile on his face

While I'm not in of Samuel Etoo's violent behavior, all these media people sef should ask questions without being bias.

It was obvious the YouTuber being an Algerian was looking for vawulence using the last Algeria vs Cameroon encounter and Etoo wasn't going to have that.

Na all those prank people I dey look for sef
