Once again Real Madrid are leading the charge on the goal front, with Raúl topping the cup Pichichi table after scoring his sixth midweek in that competition (he also has one in the Supercup), and Ronaldo taking his tally for the season to 25 at the weekend despite missing the cup match with gastric enteritis. Madrid are being matched by Valencia in the league though, both sides having scored 45 in 23 games, and Mista gave another reminder to Iñaki Sáez with two more at the weekend.

The Spanish manager has some hard decisions to make for the upcoming friendly international against Peru, with Raúl, Mista, Salva and Fernando Torres all high in the goalscoring table, Luque also getting his name on the scoresheet this weekend and ex under 21 international David Villa scoring twice as well, the second a last minute penalty to beat Real Sociedad. And that's not taking into account Fernando Morientes, who is apparently in line for a recall after playing well for Monaco.

The South American foreign legion also figured prominently this weekend, with Sonny Anderson, Baptista, Saviola and Ronaldinho all scoring for their sides. Ronaldinho's was undoubtedly the pick of the bunch though as Barcelona finally made it back into the Champions' League spots. Milosevic topped them all though, with two goals to give Radomir Antic his first win at Celta. (09.02.04)
