Casillas has been raised to sainthood by his doting fans ("San Iker" they call him), and he put in a spectacular performance to help Real Madrid to a 2-0 win over Zaragoza this weekend. Despite having not let in one for four matches, he still however stays one goal behind plain old Señor Víctor Valdés, who also kept a clean sheet in Barcelona's 0-2 win at Mallorca.

In fact this weekend no less than 10 keepers maintained their goals against column to zero, including Valencia's Hildebrand and Levante's Kujovic in a scoreless city derby. The former was returning after injury to replace Mora (Cañizares is already considered to be history by Ronald Koeman), and the latter was making his La Liga debut after Storari walked out on the club midweek.

Valladolid's young keeper Sergio Asenjo is making shock waves in his first term in the top flight, and he has only let in one goal in five games after his side won 0-3 at Getafe (Pato Abbondanzieri is almost twice his age). Sevilla's De Sanctis is not far behind though, one goal in four, after a 3-0 win over city neighbours Betis for whom Ricardo returned after his injury lay-off.

Elsewhere Kameni kept a clean sheet for Espanyol in his last game before going on to the Africa Cup, and Toño returned from injury to help Racing to a 1-0 win over Athletic. Wins to zero as well for Abbiati's Atlético and Notario's Murcia, and two more changes to report, Viera returning at Villarreal and López Vallejo replacing the injured César at Zaragoza. (07.01.08)
