An incredible post-script to the season, with Barcelona beating Manchester United 3-1 in the Champions League final to tie up their fourth trophy in the competition. The goals came from their front "MVP" trio, Messi, Villa and Pedro (not necesarily in that order), taking their combined tally to 103 for the season in all club competitions! Messi's goal takes him level with Cristiano Ronaldo in our chart as well, although Ronaldo takes our award this year as goals in La Liga take priority over the rest. Still, between the two of them they have scored an unbelievable 106, a once in a lifetime achievement (until next season?!?)? We can't wait for it all to start again! (28.05.11)

Cristiano Ronaldo settled any debate about whether he had set a new league record when he scored two in Real Madrid's 8-1 thrashing of already relegated Almería (Ronaldo 2, Abebayor 3, Benzema 2 and B team striker Joselu 1). The only question remaining is whether he scored 40 or 41, with the Madrid based Spanish newspaper Marca (the official prize-giver) awarding him one more than in the official referees reports (see last week's Pichichi report for details). Ronaldo's brace actually takes him above Messi in our table, but the Barcelona forward still (who was rested at the weekend) has a chance to come back in next Saturday's Champions League final.

The top two have been in a league of their own this season, but below them there were some sterling performances from players such as Rossi, whose 32 goals may have taken the prize in other seasons. Agüero finished fourth in our chart after scoring a brilliant hat-trick at Mallorca (with Webó getting two for the locals), although it didn't help his side improve their seventh position as Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao both won. Negredo scored twice for the Andalusians and Kanouté got what may be his last goal for the club in a 2-3 victory at Espanyol, with Osvaldo (who may also be on his way, maybe even to Sevilla) replying for the Catalans. And Llorente was on target again in a 1-2 win at Racing which kept the Basques in sixth spot.

Drama down in the lower reaches, where five clubs were fighting to avoid the last relegation spot. Goals from Valencia's Aduríz and Soldado though sent Deportivo down after a 20 year run in the top flight, with two from captain Gabi saving Zaragoza despite a late fright from Levante's Stuani. A great season all round though, and the icing on the cake (we hope) will be next Saturday, when Barcelona take on Manchester United in that Wembley final (23.05.11)
