Sevilla keeper Notario kept up his good form this season, and moves to the top of the Zamora's chart with his third clean sheet in a row and his eleventh of the season in all. One of Iñaki Sáez's henchmen was spotted in the stands for the game against Osasuna, and he could be a surprise inclusion in the Spanish squad for the double header against Ukraine and Armenia at the end of this month.

Not a bad weekend for goalkeepers this time, with only 24 goals scored in the ten games. As well as Notario, five keepers kept clean sheets, including those from the three bottom sides, Luque (Recreativo) and Toni (Espanyol) in their goal-less draw, and Sergio Segura (Rayo) in their win over Celta.

Contreras returned to our charts after Málaga beat Athletic 3-0, and Esteban took another step in the absence of Mono Burgos to establish himself as Atlético's number one in their 0-1 win at Valencia. Burgos is now out of hospital after having a tumour removed from one of his kidneys, and must be on the road to recovery as he is already telling jokes to the press. He can at least take heart from Deportivo's Molina, who has apparently beaten his last bout of cancer and is expected to be in the squad for the Champions League game at Juventus midweek. (11.03.03)
