Heroes of the week
Well, it didn’t take very long for Luca Toni to return into the spotlight. Midweek: two goals vs. Getafe in the UEFA Cup (and how important were those goals… Bayern was losing 1-3 in extra time before Toni scored his double), and this week-end: two goals vs. Dortmund. Plus a major contribution to Bayern’s 5-0 final scoreline. Toni-gol is back, bentornato Luca!
