A great week for Fernando Torres, even though it was not so good in the end for his side. On Wednesday the young striker won a penalty and converted it himself to take Atlético Madrid through to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. And on Sunday he appeared to have won the league match against Villarreal single handedly when he burst through twice in the first half to give his side a commanding two goal lead. However his opponents had other ideas, Diego Forlán getting his fifteenth of the season as they came back to win 3-2 in the last minute.

Eto'o still tops our table though after getting his name on the scoresheet against Mallorca, although to be honest he didn't know too much about it. The Camerooni striker was hit on the leg by Deco's shot, deflecting the ball enough to put off Mallorca keeper Moyà. Most reporters actually gave the goal to Deco (who scored again later in the game), but the referee decided it was Eto'o's goal and there we stand.

The only other of our Pichichis to add to his tally in a low scoring week was Di Vaio, his goal in the UEFA Cup third round tie against Steaua Bucharest helping to give Valencia a healthy lead for the second leg, and taking some of the pressure off manager Ranieri. (21.02.05)
