MONACO -- Bayern Munichs players are used to scoring goals for fun, but this time it was the club netting a hat-trick as the German Bundesliga champion was voted the top team by the APs panel of global football journalists for the third straight week. Bayern has lost only one of its past 30 matches in all competitions, clinched the Bundesliga title in record time, and cruised into the Champions League semifinals. Time to ease off last weekend? Instead, Bayern thumped Nuremberg 4-0. "Bayern Munich get my vote as the best club team of the week following a thoroughly convincing performance in Turin to defeat Juventus in the Champions League and following it up with their 4-0 victory," said Mike McGrath of of Englands Sun newspaper and Wardles. "Pundits, and possibly UEFA organisers, may be hoping for an El Clasico Champions League final at Wembley next month but the German champions could have a big say." With Lionel Messi nursing a sore hamstring, Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the spotlight with four goals in two games and was voted top player of the week ahead of Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero and a limping Messi, who helped Barcelona eliminate Paris Saint-Germain from the Champions League. Bayern collected 130 points from a possible 150; putting it comfortably ahead of Borussia Dortmund, which also reached the last four of the Champions League thanks to two dramatic late goals against Malaga and then thrashed Greuther Fuerth 6-1. Real Madrid was third on 109. "I was very impressed (with) Dortmunds week, with the last-gasp qualification in Champions and the easy victory in the Bundesliga," said Paolo Condo of Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport. Ronaldo easily won with 140 points, compared to 65 for Aguero and 57 for Messi. Madrid found itself under pressure in the return leg of its Champions League quarterfinal against an inspired Galatasaray side, and Ronaldo soothed nerves with a late goal to add to his early effort, taking his tally to 11 in the competition. He then again struck in each half in the 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday to reach 30 league goals for the third straight season. "He is the top scorer in the Champions League. Two goals and an assist in La Liga. (Ronaldo) has perhaps never been so good," said Cedric Rouquette of Eurosport in France. Although Messi did not score, his impact was still immense. With Barca trailing 1-0 in the return leg and facing elimination, the superstar came off the bench and played a telling role in the equalizing goal that sent the four-time European champion through to the last four. "Why Messi? Because, as someone said, even limping -- or lame -- he is the best player in the world," said Federico Giammaria of Argentinean newspaper La Voz. "(He) showed that he does not need to play the entire game or score a goal. The mere mention of his name stirs a deep and decisive fear in opponents." Aguero was Citys decisive player last season, scoring in the final seconds to steal the Premier League title from the grasp of crosstown rivals United, and the Argentine has started to find his best form again in recent weeks. He followed up his winning goal in the league against United with another key strike to put City 2-0 up against Chelsea in their FA Cup semifinal on Sunday. Meanwhile, striker Robin van Persie found his way back into the top 10 after ending his two-month goal drought with a penalty against Stoke as United took another step toward the league title. Although manager Alex Ferguson was less than pleased when van Persie jumped into his arms at full speed. AP Global Football Rankings for the week ending April 15.

Twice this season, the team has been dealt three consecutive shutouts against MLS opponents. The Fire finally found a way to extinguish their latest scoring drought in a tough road environment and can only hope this serves as a turning point in what has thus far been a disappointing 2013 season. Quincy Amarikwa scored in the 84th minute to counter a goal from Alvaro Saborio in the 78th and Chicago played Real Salt Lake to a 1-1 draw Saturday night. The Fire (2-7-2) snapped a three-match losing streak in which they did not score a goal and improved to 3-2-3 all-time in Utah. Chicago is the only MLS club with a winning road record against Salt Lake (6-5-3). Earning a point on the road could be the fork in the road that helps the Fire climb the Eastern Conference standings again. Right now, they are taking a wait-and-see approach. "You cant say until you have four or five games and you see what it does," Chicago midfielder Jeff Larentowicz said. "But, for us, you can tell that to come on the road and get a point is something that picks up the locker room." Things appeared to be going in the wrong direction for the Fire once again after RSL broke a scoreless tie in the second half. Saborio scored a few minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute for Robbie Findley. Playing for the first time in a month, Saborio made his presence felt, scoring after Javier Morales hit the crossbar on a free kick a minute earlier. Ned Grabavoy sent a cross to Saborio in front of the 6-yard box and he headed the ball home inside the left post andd put Salt Lake up 1-0.dddddddddddd The Fire wasted no time stepping up on the other end, breaking a scoreless drought of 361 minutes with Amarikwas goal. Austin Berry headed a pass off a long throw-in to Amarika, who used a bicycle kick to slide the ball under the crossbar. Chicago hadnt scored since a 1-0 victory over Columbus on April 20th. "We keep creating more good shots, trying corners and free kicks, but we just dont score," Fire midfielder Joel Lindpere said. "Its frustrating for players, but we know if you create them, one day the ball must go in. It must go in." RSL had previously not scored a goal in three matches against the Fire since earning a 1-0 home win on September 18, 2010. Chicago also had gone scoreless against RSL since claiming a 3-0 road victory on September 28, 2011. Salt Lake had a couple of good scoring chances early after dominating possession for much of the half. Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson came up with big saves to keep RSL off the scoreboard. Kyle Beckerman fired a right footer at the left post from the right side of the box in the 22nd minute. Johnson met the ball at the post and denied Beckerman. He stepped up again in the 29th after Grabavoy took a cross from Joao Plata and launched a header from the centre of the box. Johnson snagged the ball out of the air to deny the potential goal. RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando became just the fourth player in MLS history to play more than 30,000 career minutes. Beckerman and fellow RSL veteran Nat Borchers also played in their 209th MLS match together, setting a new league record for most games played together as teammates. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
