So Casillas finally gets his
dream to take the Zamora trophy! Schuster giving him a hand (as if he needed
it) resting him and giving a run out to Dudek in the match at Zaragoza. The
last game of the season against Levante may not take place due to a more than
probable strike by the players of the Valencia based side, who have not been
paid in several months, but even if it does go ahead Iker's nearest rival
Víctor Valdés is four goals away. The Barcelona keeper was also
left out of the line up, Pinto coming in to replace him, but that was for other
reasons, with rumours that he could be transfer-listed this summer after some
indifferent performances.
Casillas may not have been
in such a comfortable position though if Diego López had played more
matches, the Villarreal keeper recording his fifth clean sheet in a row against
Espanyol. Although it was an average weekend for goals, another seven keepers
also managed to maintain their goals against column free of contamination,
including Leo Franco (Atlético), Armando (Athletic), Toño
(Racing), Sergio Asenjo (Valladolid), Abbondanzieri (Getafe), Sorrentino
(Recreativo) and Palop (Sevilla). Elsewhere Diego Alves (Almería) and
Kameni (Espanyol) returned to their respective sides after a one match rest.
