Last lot of the big European fixtures out of the way and unless there's a couple of hits in the Champions League final, the Copa Del Rey or any warm up games, the mainstay of El Diego's European based forward line finished the season unscathed, and in fine fettle.
Leo Messi ended a fantastic season in style for Barca, by scoring two goals in a 4-0 win over Valladolid, which saw his side crowned champions of La Liga. That's 47 goals in total for little Leo this season, equalling Ronaldo's Barca record from back in the day, when he really was at his peak. And at least 6 stone lighter.
Ronnie, not at bestSecond in the Spanish goal scoring charts was Gonzalo Higuain who weighed in with a more than decent 27. Sergio Aguero was absent from an Atletico Madrid side, with on eye on the copa del rey final, humbled 3-0 at home to Getafé. He's still notched 12 times in La Liga this season and continues to menace all and sundry cutting in from the left.
Over in Italia, Diego Milito netted for the 21st time this season in a 1-0 win over Siena to give Inter their fifth successive scudetto. That means champions of Italy, if you didn't get that.
In the same country, Ezequial Lavezzi missed Napoli's 1-0 defeat to Sampdoria, but has still totted up 8 goals from 27 starts. Carlos Tevez ended his first season with Manchester City (it seems like a long time ago now) having bulged the onion bag 23 times in the Premier league.
Lavezzi. Statistically shiteGood nick then, all in all, but can El Diego turn into World Cup success?

Hi Jeff, Dave here, a mine of information this! I suspect a repeat of 2006, easy on the eye and plenty of tabloid fodder, but sadly no success. Maybe Chris Hughton can pick up a couple of free transfers from the carnage? No, I don't think so either...
Good evening and welcome sir, thankyou for your thoughts, hopefully you will stick around.
Sadly no chance of CH picking up even the most wayward of El Diego's charges.........that said Martin Palermo might be availablke, though.
.........Subject to day release from the 'Golden Sands home for the hopelessly bewildered'.
