European soccer leagues recap-countdown

The most worn soccer number is 10. You ever saw a team without a number 10? Exactly. What we're going to do today is recap this weekend's European soccer leagues from the most worn soccer number to the most worn keeper number.

You might want to keep reading past four, the top three goals end the countdown.

10. Ten for: Barcelona beat Real Madrid 4-0 without their number 10, Lionel Messi, in their starting lineup.

Messi subbed in the game in the 77th minute when the score was already 4-0. Luis Suarez had a brace while Neymar and Andres Iniesta scored a goal each.

Isco was red-carded for kicking Neymar on his left knee after the Brazilian bolted past him. Barca grows their gap over Madrid on top of the table to six points.

9.  Nine for Leicester City's number nine Jamie Vardy. Vardy scored against Newcastle in a 3-0 victory on Saturday. With this goal he equals Ruud Van Nistelrooy's record of scoring in 10 consecutive Premier League games.

Vardy broke Nistelrooy's record in grand fashion, wait till you get to number 1.

8. Eight for: Leicester is on top of the Premier League, appreci8 don't 8.

7. Seven for Juventus beat Milan 1-0 to push them down to 7th place in the Serie A. Paulo Dybala scored for Juve in the 65th minute. His goal is the second best goal of the week (see number 2).

6. First place Russian leaders CSKA Moscow lost to FC Krylia Sovetov Samara 2-0 at home. FC Krylia just came out of regulation. Six for: that game started at 6:00 a.m. (U.S time) on Saturday, I watched it in my sleep.

5. Five for: Inter Milan is looking like the team they were five years ago, they're on top of the Serie A after beating Frosinone 4-0.

4. Four for: Liverpool beat Manchester City 4-1 on Saturday at the Eithad Stadium in the Premier League's must-see fixture. Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, Martin Skrtel and Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala scored for Liverpool (yes, a City player netted for Liverpool).

Sergio Aguero scored Manchester City's consolation goal.

Top 3 goals:

3. Diego Costa's goal vs Norwich. Costa scored against Norwich like a boss, just watch his reaction after the goal.

2. Paulo Dybala's goal vs. Milan. Dybala's finish is good but Paul Pogba's flick pass to Sandro to start it up is even better. Yes, a pass can be better than a goal.

1. Vardy's goal vs Newcastle. Five straight passes, nutmeg then a cool finish by Vardy; that's how you win goal of the week.

0. It's Monday, go back to work.
