Pichichis
Another 50 goals this week, with the top dogs getting 20 of them. The performances of the week were undoubtedly by Deportivo's Pandiani and Diego Tristán who scored eight goals between them, and that after missing out on the first half against PSG with Roy Makaay being preferred in the striker position. 'Rifle' Pandiani got five in four days to shoot up the table (ha, ha). The top five from last week all got goals, with Rivaldo getting one for each team in Barça's match against Mallorca after missing out on the UEFA cup tie midweek through international duty. Kluivert got two in that game, but loses one from his brought forward total as one of his pair against Real Sociedad was put down by the referee as a López Rekarte own goal. Javi Moreno only got one of the seven his team put past Rayo Vallecano in their double header, with Michel and Bolic getting the two goals in reply. They meet for a third time next Thursday in the UEFA cup second leg. Raúl stepped up a gear with three goals in a week to move ahead of Javi Moreno into second place, although the first of his two against Leeds in the Champions League was scored with his hand and looks like costing him a one match suspension (see villains section). Catanha claimed his side's second goal in the league against Valladolid, although it should probably only have been a half as he and Edu both appeared to head the ball simultaneously. Other top men to add to their totals were Carew and Dely Valdés, with Figo, Morientes and Urzaiz joining Darío Silva on ten goals just outside of our chart. (12.03.01)
