Own a piece of Frank Rijkaard's Barcelona dynasty with this authentic Nike Barcelona away jersey from 2006/07, named for Samuel Eto'o, the Cameroonian striker whose number 9 spearheaded one of the most explosive attacking Barcelona teams of the modern era. This shirt represents the difficult title-defense season following Barça’s 2006 Champions League triumph, when Eto'o’s major knee injury and Ronaldinho’s gradual decline marked the beginning of the end of one dynasty, while a teenage Lionel Messi simultaneously emerged as football’s next global superstar.

History
The 2006/07 La Liga campaign was Frank Rijkaard’s attempt to defend Barcelona’s legendary 2005/06 double-winning season, where the club had captured both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
Samuel Eto'o entered the season as one of world football’s deadliest forwards after scoring 26 league goals the previous year, but Barcelona’s title defense suffered a major blow when he ruptured the meniscus in his right knee during a Champions League group-stage match against Werder Bremen on 27 September 2006.
The injury sidelined Eto'o for several months and disrupted the rhythm of Rijkaard’s side. Although he returned later in the campaign, he finished with 11 La Liga goals in 27 appearances — a significant drop from his usual standards.
Despite continued brilliance from Ronaldinho and the rapid emergence of 19-year-old Lionel Messi, who scored 14 La Liga goals, Barcelona narrowly lost the league title to Real Madrid on head-to-head record after both teams finished level on points.
In Europe, Liverpool eliminated Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 16, symbolizing the end of the club’s short-lived dominance under Rijkaard. The 06/07 away shirt, therefore, captures a pivotal transitional moment in Barcelona's history: Eto'o’s prime beginning to fade, Ronaldinho’s influence declining, and Messi’s ascent toward becoming football’s defining figure.
Eto'o would later leave for Inter Milan in 2009 after winning three La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues with Barcelona.
Collector Value
A Nike Barcelona 06/07 away shirt with an authentic Eto'o 9 nameset in 8/10 condition typically resells internationally in the NOK 1,800 – NOK 3,500 range.
Eto'o-era Barcelona shirts remain highly collectible because of his status as one of the greatest African footballers ever, combined with his later treble-winning legacy at Inter Milan under José Mourinho.
The 06/07 season also carries unique historical importance as the campaign that bridged Ronaldinho’s Barcelona and Messi’s Barcelona, making the shirt particularly meaningful among modern Barça collectors.
TheFootballIdiots’ NOK 1,999 sits comfortably within the international market for an authentic 8/10 named example.
FAQs
How did Eto'o perform in 2006/07 for Barcelona?
Samuel Eto'o endured an injury-hit season during Barcelona’s 2006/07 campaign. He ruptured the meniscus in his right knee during a Champions League match against Werder Bremen in September 2006 and missed several months of action.
After returning midway through the season, he finished with 11 La Liga goals from 27 appearances. Despite the injury setbacks, Eto'o remains one of the most decorated African players in football history.
Who won La Liga in 2006/07?
Real Madrid won the 2006/07 La Liga title on head-to-head record after finishing level on points with Barcelona. On the final day, Barcelona defeated Gimnàstic 5-1, but Real Madrid overturned a deficit against Mallorca to win 3-1 and secure the championship.
The title ended Barcelona’s two-season reign as Spanish champions.
Why is the 06/07 Barcelona shirt historically meaningful?
The 2006/07 season represented a symbolic transition in Barcelona history — positioned directly between the Ronaldinho-Rijkaard era and the upcoming Guardiola-Messi dynasty.
Eto'o’s injury problems, Ronaldinho’s gradual decline, and the emergence of teenage Lionel Messi made this campaign a unique handover moment between two generations of Barcelona attacking football.
