Heroes of the week

This week, the best performances come from Germany and Spain.

Luca Toni scored his 4th goal in 5 matches for Bayern, and this week it was quite a gem: a delightful left-footed chipped shot over the opposing keeper, following a difficult aerial control of the ball from a high pass. Magical stuff, check the video here.

Meanwhile, Giuseppe Rossi entered the match vs. Murcia as a substitute, and within a 5-minute period produced a key double for his Villareal team, bringing the Yellow Submarines to the 2nd spot in the Liga rankings, and the Italian youngster to a total of 3 goals.
