| Van
Nistelrooy chases C-L topscore record |
24 Apr 2002
|
| It's
been one hell of a season for Ruud van Nistelrooy - the Dutch
international has been breaking records in the English Premiership, as
well as at Manchester United, and was
recently voted "Player of the Year"
by his colleagues. To top off a remarkable season, by anyone's standards, "Van the
Man" is now close to setting a new top-scoring
record in the Champions League! He only needs to score one more C-L goal
to equal the record shared by Mario Jardel (for FC Porto), Rivaldo (for
Barcelona) and Raúl (for Real Madrid), who all put away 10 goals in the
1999/2000 season. The last time a player put away that many balls was
during the tournament's infancy in the 1992/93 season. Van Nistelrooy scored his 9th
goal of this C-L season against Deportivo La Coruña, equalling Jari
Litmanen's (for Ajax in 1995/96) and Simone Inzaghi's (for Lazio Roma in
1999/2000) efforts.
