You should, Read The Game got ten numbers that will inscribe last weekend in your football brain to keep your spirit up throughout the week. Let's start from the most worn number:
10. 10 for: Daniele De Rossi has been playing for Roma for over a decade (15 years to be exact), he doesn't even need to look at or face a Roma jersey to provide an assist.
It looks better than Nainggolan's haircut, doesn't it?
9. Nine for: French champions Paris Saint-Germain conceded only nine goals in their 21 Ligue 1 games this season. They're undefeated and are on top of the league with a 21 point advantage. 21, 21, don't you love numbers?

8. Eight for: Chelsea skipper John Terry scored in the 98th minute to bring his side leveled with Everton when referee Mike Jones signaled for seven minutes of added time. And Terry's goal was offside.
Watch it yourself, with all the controversies you can't deny that Terry hits a sweet backheel here:
Offside? The game should've ended? Terry doesn't care.
"I'm not sure, I don't really care it's my first one this season," the defender told reporters after the game.
7. Seven for: Isco's seventh assist of the season is one of the best assist we witnessed this weekend.
Watch the 23-year-old's magic as he sets up Karim Benzema's second goal against Sporting Gijon:
Isco wouldn't talk to Benzema for seven months if he didn't finish his pass.
6. Six for: Premier League breakthrough player and top-scorer, Jamie Vardy haven't scored a goal in six league games. Vardy broke Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League games earlier this season.

Top-scorer when you haven't scored in six games, impressive.
5. Five for: Real Madrid scored five goals in their first two games under new manager Zinedine Zidane. You know why? Because Zidane wore number five.

Fast Five Madrid.
4. Four for: Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney has scored in each of the Red Devils last four games to break out of a dreadful season.

3. Everton's Kevin Mirallas controls the ball away from the defender... turns... and launches the ball in the near post.
2. Benzema's stunning scissor-kick against Sporting Gijon.
Don't cut yourself next time, Benzema.
2. I'll give you two number twos. Sevilla striker Kevin Gameiro lobs the ball over the Malaga keeper.
Let's end with the most worn keeper number.
1. Alvaro Negredo scores from midfield to bring Valencia leveled with Rayo Vallecano 1-1.
That's why you must always pressure as an attacker.
That was the Recap-Countdown on Read The Game, so long football fans.
