Pichichis

After what seems like a very brief lay-off, La Liga is back. As expected, our first chart is dominated by a Sevilla side who have been involved in all the official pre-season competitions, Champions League qualifiers, Spanish Super Cup, and next week the European Super Cup. So far though they have exceeded even their own high expectations, putting five past Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu, two past AEK Athens in the CL and four this weekend against Getafe in the league. Last season's runner up Kanouté is off to a flying start with a hat-trick against Madrid and one in each of the other competitions, but Luis Fabiano is not far behind with three, and Renato contributed with a brace in the Super Cup. Elsewhere Forlán and Agüero have got off to a promising start (despite their defeat at Real Madrid this weekend), and Ibagaza is the early leader in the league Pichichi table, the only player to score two on "Day 1".
