Diego Forlan has won the coveted Pichichi Trophy for the second time in his career (the first back with Villareal during the ‘04 / 05 season) after dropping 32 goals in the Primera Division for Atletico Madrid.

“First of all, I am very happy that we [Atletico Madrid] have qualified for the Champions League for the second consecutive year, and because I have won the Pichichi in a very strong Spanish league.

“We worked very hard to qualify, we are going to enjoy this.”

In addition, the 30 year old Forlan took time to acknowledge the contribution of his teammates and the clubs’ supporters in helping him to overcome Samuel Eto’o and David Villa to land the coveted prize.

“I’m very thankful to everyone at the club. The impact that this
award will have on the team is very important. We have to rest well and begin next season at full strength.”

    As well as the Golden Boot. As you said, its the second time he wins both trophies AND the second time, Eto’o gets the title taken away from him by Forlan in the last days of La Liga.
