Pichichis

A midweek round of matches this week, with all first division sides in action. Eto'o failed to score in Tuesday night's 0-0 draw between city rivals Barcelona and Espanyol, and Baptista, Diego Forlán and Fernando Torres all took advantage on Wednesday to close up on the leader (Baptista could have been just one behind if he hadn't missed a second penalty late on). Michael Owen kept up his scoring record as Real Madrid narrowed the gap with Barça to six points after a 3-1 win over Betis, Edu getting the goal for the visitors. Finally Diego Tristán and Pacheco scored again to return to our chart, joining the group on nine goals in all competitions. (03.03.05)
