Inter striker Samuel Eto'o has sought to ease the pressure on his side by warning Saturday's Champions League final against Bayern Munich must not become "an obsession".

The Serie A champions are possibly 90 minutes away from finally bringing the European Cup back to their trophy cabinet as they prepare to face the German title holders at Madrid's Bernabeu stadium.

However, Eto'o - twice a winner with Barcelona - insists no good can come from desperation.

"This must be a dream final for us. We will lose if it turns into obsession," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I know that Inter fans have waited a lifetime for this moment.

"(But) we need the right attitude and the willingness to fight. I've played two finals, but both against English teams.

"This is a different story as Bayern are in form and are a great squad."
