Inter have issued a statement against satirical Italian television programme Striscia La Notizia after they chased Samuel Eto'o around Milan asking questions into his private life.

Tuttosport reported that journalists from the programme tried to stop and show Eto'o a video of a young girl whose mother claims the Cameroon star is the father. However, the striker refused to meet the programme's requests and left without making any comments.

Inter have now stepped in and released a statement on their official website, condemning Striscia La Notizia in relation to what happened.

"The player Samuel Eto'o, a serious professional, was a victim of 'television ambush' on Wednesday night for what is a totally private matter.

"FC Internazionale would like to express their displeasure for the violent manipulation of the media on the privacy of our player. We are upset with this sad incident."
