^eh?
He was instrumental in their 2007/2008 league win, I'll give you that. It was also their last league win. He was good in 08/09 but it didn't win them the league that year. To credit him with 05/06 and 06/07 is like saying that Chelsea won theirs due to Salomon Kalou.
As for the Copa del Rey, it's about as valued as the League Cup here and you can bet your house on it
that it wasn't a consolation for missing out on the league last year.
To call him a trophy magnet like Ibra is going a bit far.
