"First of all, I feel very proud. I won the title in my first season in the La Liga, I think it's a great feat.

The 34-year-old is the leader of the La Liga top scorer's classification with 21 goals, four more than Karim Benzema.
"It's hard to say who is the MVP of the season. We showed quality as a team. We had an advantage but I wasn't sure we would win the title. I believe the victory over Real Madrid at Camp Nou turned out to be crucial. When we beat Atletico, we sent a signal that we were on the right track," the Pole analyzed.
"For many of our players, it's the first championship title in their careers. When you win the trophy, you earn additional confidence and a huge experience. It's really important," he noted.
