The goals in the midweek
cup quarter finals could be counted on the fingers of a hand of a man with no
thumbs (De la Red, Silva, Smolarek and Tchité), but the strikers made up
for it at the weekend with 32 in all (four men with no thumbs or otherwise two
four-toed sloths!). Getting back on track (thanks - editor) Luis Fabiano is now
well out in front after scoring his 23rd in all competitions, a controversial
late penalty at Osasuna, although Diego Milito is matching him in the league
after scoring his 14th at Racing. Real Madrid are building up an unassailable
lead at the top of the table though, Robinho scoring twice either side of a
goal by Rossi (see Zamora section for more on that one) in a 3-2 win over
Villarreal. Elsewhere Luis García (Espanyol's that is) and Arango both
come in to our chart this week after getting their eighth of the season, both
having scored six times in the league and twice in the cup. (28.01.08)
