Shock result of the day, quite possibly, came in Munich, where James Bartaby's Bayern - currently only just outside the relegation zone - put on their performance of the season, destroying league leaders FC Tucson. David Burton's side were put to the sword as Van Persie scored a hat-trick and Ronaldo added a fourth, Bayern winning 4-0. The goal difference swing between the two Tucson and PSG (they were exactly equal before this weeks games) was magnified by the performance of the side from Paris - and one of their players in particular. Lionel Messi scored five times as Louis Browne's side won 5-0 at Roma to move three points clear. It probably remains a two horse race, but the teams behind are keeping up the pressure where they can. James Teager's Juventus won 1-0 at Barcelona to keep them eight points behind the leaders, but time looks to be running out for Markie's Barcelona who - after Bayern's win this week - are now seven points from safety down in the bottom three.
The battle for the Premier League continues to be between the top three - John Ferrier's Man U came from behind to win 2-1 at Everton and stay top, level on points with Louis Browne's Arsenal who won 1-0 at Man City. Louis King's Southampton are a point behind those two following the 5-0 home demolition of Millwall.
