Francesco Totti caught up with Antonio Di Natale at the top of the top scorer’s chart with 9 goals after his hat-trick vs. Bari at the Stadio Olimpico. That was Totti’s first hat-trick in 7 years, the last coming against Brescia in 2002. Both Totti and Di Natale have each scored a hat-trick this season. Giampaolo Pazzini and Diego Milito follow closely however, each with 8 goals. Totti is now at 187 goals in Serie A, 1 shy of Giuseppe Signori’s record of 188. Once he hits that his next target would be Kurt Hamrin at 190, and then an assault on Roberto Baggio at 205. If Totti eventually hits 200 goals enjoy it whether you like him or not, because it’s going to be a while before another player reaches that milestone. Goals of the week after the jump.

Francesco Totti vs Bari – This is a video of his 28 minute hat-trick. OK the first was a penalty, but the second and third are excellent strikes.

Marcelo Zalayeta vs Inter – Zalayeta loves to score vs. Inter. Here he traps a long ball excellently and then a nice finish past Julio Cesar.

Giampaolo Pazzini vs. Chievo – This is a great team goal. Quick exchange of passes and then Cassano puts in the assist for Pazzini.

Fabio Grosso vs. Udinese – Another great team goal. Great holding of possession by Juve, Grosso gives it to Poulsen and makes an excellent run into the box, Poulsen great ball to Caceres who gives a perfect assist to Grosso who taps it in.

Alexandre Pato vs. Cagliari – This is just a sublime finish. Unstoppable for Marchetti. Borriello to Ronaldinho, quick touch to Pato, and “il Papero” just unleashes an awesome strike.

Esteban Cambiasso vs. Bologna – This is a great goal because of Cambiasso’s work-rate. If you notice, Cambiasso starts this play with the long ball for Milito in his own half. He then sprints from his own half to the Bologna box, receiving the assist from Milito and finishing the play he started.
