While on the subject of DP vs Totti, did anyone see when Ale used his skill to skip away from a Totti challenge and win a free kick? 
I wouldn't say that Totti is more talented or naturally gifted than Del Piero, just that he's more consistent. On his day DP is one of the best support strikers in the world.

My theory is that after they designated Figo to be first choice PK taker,they felt switching to Zidane immediately after the latter's arrival would show they valued him more.This would go against Perez's policies of having a team of equal Galacticos,all getting 100k p/w wages and superstar status in the team.Also Figo's place in the dressing room is undisputed,being one of Raul's closest teammates along with Roberto Carlos and Guti,and Real have always had a thing for their captain's preferences.
Watching most of Real Madrid games I can assure ya that Figo is thier best performing player this year....
I never liked him after he left Barcelona, but he is surely one of the best PK taker in the world, so calm, and has a distinct ability of prediciting keeper's move, just watch how he slow down for a second before he shoots, takes a quick look at the keeper response then he makes his shooting decision in the last second....
And believe me it is not easy for any footballer....
