Six more goals in the Champions League this week, with Kluivert and Rivaldo scoring for Barcelona and Diego Tristán and Figo both adding to their totals from the penalty spot. Rivaldo got two more in the league at the weekend, taking him to within one of our leaders, although he will not be featuring in club games for the next 15 days or so as he is off, together with Roberto Carlos, to play for Brazil. Several other clubs will be losing players during that period, including Ayala, Aimar and Kily from Valencia and Darío Silva from Málaga, and Real Madrid may also lose Zidane and Makelele, both called up by France for their friendly in Australia.

Raúl kept up his battle with Kluivert at the top of our table with a last minute goal at Villarreal to give his side the three points. Figo got another penalty in that game to enter our chart, and Saviola also comes back in after getting Barça's first against Betis. Mostovoi saved a point for his side with a last minute header against Valladolid after Tote had given the visitors the lead with his fifth of the season, making it a four horse race at the moment for the league's top scorer. Other scorers of note were Musampa, who got two for Málaga at Zaragoza, and Coloccini, who got his third in eight days for Alavés. (29.10.01)
