Did we say last weekend was a bad one for keepers? This one then was a complete disaster as the ball hit the net a record 42 times in the ten games! Pato Abbondanzieri only let in one, but he loses his top spot for the first time in many weeks after Víctor Valdés's clean sheet in Barcelona's 0-6 whitewash of Atlético Madrid. Once again Leo Franco was lucky not to be playing, although one wonders whether he would have let in all the goals that his replacement Pichu Cuéllar did.

Elsewhere Kameni let in five (he drops out of our chart as a result) and Aranzubia and Cavallero let in four each. The Levante keeper came on in only the fifth minute of the game for Molina, who was sent off for handling outside of the area. The goalkeeping hero of the week though is no doubt Sevilla's Palop, who made three penalty saves in the UEFA cup final shoot out against Espanyol. He also set up Adriano for the opening goal with his long throw, and was awarded man of the match for his efforts. (21.05.07)
