Nigerian international and CSKA Moscow winger, Ahmed Musa has claimed his first title in Europe since his transfer from Kano Pillars in 2010 to VVV-Venlo in Holland.
The Russian club were crowned champions after a 0-0 draw withKUban Krasnodaron Friday.
The capital giants could only play out a stalemate against the Europa League hopefuls, but Zenit St Petersburg side cannot now claim a third straight title having accrued too few victories in comparison to Leonid Slutsky’s men with just two matches to spare.
Their coach, who was appointed as Juande Ramos’ successor at the back end of 2009, was quick to pay tribute to the club’s fans in the wake of their Russian Premier League success.
“This victory is for you because you have supported us the whole season, who filled the Khimki arena in suburban Moscow,” said Slutsky.
This weekend’s title triumph was the 11th in CSKA’s history and their first since 2006.
