Ronaldinho continues to follow in the footsteps of Rivaldo, his free kick underneath the defensive wall setting Barcelona on their way to a classic victory over Werder Bremen and a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. And the Brazilian star also had a hand in the second goal, scored by Gudjohnsen. Valencia and Real Madrid were already sure of qualifying, and they both put out depleted sides. Capello rested Van Nistelrooy and gave a run out to his second choice centre forward, a young lad by the name of..er..Ronaldo! The former Pichichi proved that he is close to returning to his old form with two late goals to save a point and €300,000 in prize money for his side.

And so on to the league, where three top Pichichis all scored, Ronaldinho and Kanouté (from the penalty spot) on Saturday, and Diego Milito on Sunday (for those of you who watch Sky's "revista de la liga" goal of the week competition, watch out for Soccer-Spain's La Liga Shop prizes of their shirts for the competition winners). Some other big names on the scoresheets this week as well, including two for David Villa, who returned to the Valencia side after an injury, and one each for Angulo, Baiano, Fernando Torres, Diego Forlán, Tamudo and Luis García.
