Pichichis

Chalk one up for Real Madrid and José Mourinho! Cristiano Ronaldo's extra time goal on Wednesday night against Barcelona gave Madrid their first Copa del Rey title in 18 years. If it wasn't for Messi, Ronaldo would be re-writing all the record books, but the little magician scored his 50th of the season in a 2-0 victory over Osasuna on Saturday, beating the all time Spanish club record Madrid's famous striker Puskas. Villa also netted in that match, his first in eleven games, keeping up the eight point gap over their arch-rivals. Madrid themselves didn't falter though despite putting out a side packed with (very expensive!) reserves, Higuaín scoring three, Kaká two and Benzema another in a 3-6 thrashing of third placed Valencia. Soldado did get his "golito" though to make it eight in the last four matches, and Valencia stay six points clear of Villarreal, who lost 3-2 at Sevilla, Negredo and Rossi both on the scoresheet in that one. Sevilla are now sixth, level on points with Atlético, Agüero scoring twice and Caicedo replying from the penalty spot in a 4-1 win over Levante. (26.04.11)
