Toni sets record
However, ACF Fiorentina's Luca Toni extended his lead in the standings by a point and set a club record after registering his 27th goal of the campaign in a 1-1 draw against Juventus. He has now surpassed the mark set by Gabriel Batistuta and Kurt Hamrin, who both managed 26. In an otherwise quiet weekend for Europe's star forwards, only four other players in the top 20 scored: Kris Boyd, David Suazo, Shota Arveladze and Dimitar Berbatov.

*Season finished
Only the leading five countries (Spain, Italy, Germany, France and England) in the UEFA coefficient rankings have two as their multiplier. This is to emphasise the difference in international performance level between 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.
