ESM Golden Shoe: Ronaldo's double for Real Madrid CF at the weekend took his tally to 21 goals.

Illustrious trio
Several other front-runners stalled at the weekend, with Arsenal FC's Thierry Henry failing to find the net against Chelsea FC and Manchester United FC striker Ruud van Nistelrooij drawing a blank against Leeds United AFC at Old Trafford. Lower down the table, AS Roma's Francesco Totti moved up two places from 20th with his goal in the capital club's 6-0 win against AC Siena, but he could have clambered up to 14th had he not missed a 56th-minute penalty.

Only the leading five countries (Spain, Italy, Germany, France and England) on the UEFA Ranking have two as their multiplier. This is to emphasise the difference in (international) performance level between the clubs from those countries and those from the other countries.

A player cannot first play in a summer league (eg. Norway) and then in a winter league (eg. Spain) and combine the points total for each season.
