La Liga is back, and the
race for the new Pichichi is on with the slates wiped clean! Our first leader
is Getafe's Soldado, who helped himself to a hat-trick on the opening weekend
in Santander. The ex Real Madrid striker will be hoping to win back his place
in the Spanish squad in time for next summer's World Cup.
Otherwise though our early
Pichichis come from the five side's who have already played in other official
pre-season competitions, with Miku and Rossi getting three each in the Europa
League qualifiers, Messi notching up two in the Spanish Super Cup and his
team-mate Pedro scoring in both the Spanish and European versions, and
Agüero getting a couple to help Atlético in to the Champions League
proper.
There will now be a short
break for international matches before the league resumes in a couple of weeks'
time. (03.09.09) |
