Barcelona's Lionel Messi drew a rare blank on Sunday in La Liga, giving some of European football's most prolific forwards the chance to close the gap to him in the race for the Golden Shoe.
Messi, who has been struggling with a knock since Barca's 2-2 draw with Valencia, didn't look completely fit as his side were held to a 0-0 draw by Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames.
Elsewhere, Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo, Paris Saint-Germain sharpshooter Edinson Cavani and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah were all among the goals.
The standout forward display of the weekend came at the Etihad Stadium, as Sergio Aguero scored his second hat-trick in a week for Manchester City in their 6-0 rout of Chelsea.
