The engravers can already
start to etch out "Güiza" on this year's Pichichi trophy after the
Mallorca striker got a late winner to overturn goals by Henry and Eto'o in the
Nou Camp. His only rival Luis Fabiano did score against city rivals Betis, but
he then picked up a tenth booking of the season and will consequently miss the
last game of the season (subject of course to appeal). Güiza has already
booked his ticket to the Euro 2008 finals, where he will be joined by David
Villa, who proved his timely return to form with a hat-trick against city
rivals Levante.
Probably the most important
goal of the weekend though was Diego Forlán's strike which took
Atlético Madrid in to the Champions League for the first time in 12
years. Oliveira's goal against Real Madrid was also vital for Zaragoza's
survival in the top flight, although it was overturned by strikes from Van
Nistelrooy and Robinho, and it was left to central defender Sergio
Fernández to save them a point. We will know next weekend if it was
enough. (12.05.08) |
