Ailton off target
The France striker was not on target at the weekend as Arsenal FC won the English Premiership title with a 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur FC but none of his nearest rivals could score either. Henry is still eight points, or four goals, clear of SV Werder Bremen's Ailton who drew a blank as his side earned a goalless draw at VfL Bochum 1848 in the Bundesliga. Both players have four games left to add to their tally.
Totti double
Third-placed Ronaldo was injured and did not figure in Real Madrid CF's 2-1 home defeat by FC Barcelona in Spain's top-of-the-table match last night. The only significant change in the top ten saw Francesco Totti of AS Roma jump ten places to tenth with two goals in the 3-0 Serie A victory against Empoli FC.
