Pichichis
A quiet week for strikers, with only 19 goals in the league and no midweek club matches. Even so several of the top goalscorers got on the scoresheets, with a pair each for Raúl and Rivaldo in the big match of the weekend between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Rivaldo moves five ahead of Javi Moreno, with Raúl now only a goal behind the Alavés striker, both in all competitions and in the league. A Catanha header in the second half against Oviedo gave his team three points and takes him up to fifteen for all competitions, a perfect answer to Camacho who left him out of the Spanish squad midweek. Makaay only needed a few minutes in the second half of Deportivo's match against Mallorca to get his thirteenth of the season, although it didn't help much as he team fell to defeat. Mendieta's sixth goal from the penalty spot earned his team a point at Zaragoza, and Málaga's Darío Silva joined his teammate Dely Valdés in our chart after getting both goals against high riding Villarreal to take the three points .
