Barca have struggled in front of goal by their own high standards in 2008 and have scored more than one goal in just one of their last eight league and cup matches - a 2-1 win at Real Zaragoza on Saturday.

"Scoring more goals is really up to the lads up front as we're already creating lots of chances," said Cameroon striker Eto'o, who has not played since returning from the African Nations Cup because of a thigh injury.

But the relative dearth of goals is not a worry for Eto'o as he prepares for the Champions League last-16 first-leg clash with Celtic on Wednesday.

"Sometimes you just don't score that many goals," he told the club's official website, www.fcbarcelona.com.

"Goals come in spells. Any team and any player can have good spells and bad spells.

"The important thing is not to concede a goal. If we can get some ourselves, then all to the good."
