A low scoring week, starting with European competitions where the five Spanish sides could only manage two goals between them. Ronaldinho's and Arruabarrena's strikes against Chelsea and Rangers saw Barcelona and Villarreal through to the third round of the Champions League, but Real Madrid couldn't get one goal in 180 minutes of football against Arsenal, and Sevilla and Betis have some work to do after firing blanks in the first legs of their fourth round UEFA cup games.

Back to the league, where the 20 goals scored was the lowest tally in nine weeks. Larsson's fourth in as many games was not enough to prevent Barcelona from defeat at Osasuna, and the two sides behind them, Valencia and Real Madrid, cancelled each other out in a score-less draw. Diego Milito's early strike for Zaragoza was overturned by two from Getafe's Paunovic, and only a Fernando Torres penalty contributed to a victory by the any of the other sides in the top half of the table.

Meanwhile Espanyol boosted their morale for Wednesday night's cup semi-final with a 2-0 win over Celta, Tamudo starting things off with his first goal in six games following another injury lay off. And finally Saviola and Nené return to our chart this weekend after scoring for their respective sides on Sunday. (13.03.06)
