What a week this has been! First of all Spanish sides hit 16 goals between them in Europe midweek, and there were another 27 in the league at the weekend. A spectacular start for Barcelona and Valencia in the Champions League, goals from Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Giuly, Iniesta and even Puyol giving Frank Rijkaard's side a crushing win over Levski Sofia, and a Morientes hat-trick and another strike from Raúl Albiol helped the Chés to a 2-4 victory at Olympiakos. Morientes has now scored 30 goals in the European competition, and he moves to the top of our chart this week. Real Madrid couldn't get off the mark against Lyon the following day, but the four sides competing in the UEFA cup all got good results away from home, with Kepa and Gustavo López amongst the names on the scoresheets.

And so to the weekend, where there were braces for Kanouté and Sobis in the Sevilla derby before Renato won it with a late goal for the hosts. Eto'o, Ronaldinho and Giuly were on target again for Barcelona at Racing, and Morientes added to his tally against Getafe. Two goals as well for Deportivo left back Capdevila, filling the gap left by the departing Diego Tristán and the injured Bodipo, and Ewerthon returns to out table after getting one of Zaragoza's goals against Mallorca.
