Lets get the ball rolling with Robinho, who was on fire once more as City stroked Stoke.
The Stoke fans were silenced as early as 14 minutes into their clash with Manchester City, as Robinho took his time and calmly slotted in the first of what would turn out to be a hat trick's worth of goals. This was Robinho's first hat trick at the EPL and he promises to score at least 30 goals this season. Premiership, you've been warned.
Kaka and Milan travelled to Holland. Kaka's words before boarding his bus back home were, "I came, I won, and I was convincing." This as Milan beat Heerenveen, 3-1, in their own back yard, with Kaka supplying two goal-scoring assists among several other brilliant moves.
He seemed very happy with his performance and for sure Milan was too as they have rightly turned down hundreds of millions of dollars to keep their Brazilian superstar this season.
Porto Alegre, Brazil is our next stop as we pay tribute to the latest Brazilian sensation—Alex.
Surely among the best midfielders in the world, Alex was recently called to Dunga's national squad. In this week's Copa Sul Americana versus none other than Boca Juniors, he proved to us all why he deserves his place alongside Kaka, Robinho, and Co.
Right after the interval, Alex made a piercing short run reminiscent of Maradona because of the number of Boca players around him, and it was also very Kaka-like, as from nothing came this low, left-footed shot from far out, sailing past the Boca keeper for a 1-0 lead.
If that wasn't enough for one night, close to the end of the match he just had to do it again, only this time an airborne blazer of a shot from outside the box for a score of Internacional 2, Boca 0.
