La Liga title just the beginning, says Gabi

Atletico claimed their first Spanish league title in 18 years after earning a 1-1 draw at fallen champions Barcelona on Saturday.

Diego Simeone's men finished three points clear of powerhouses Barcelona and Real Madrid.

"Thank you very much to everyone," Gabi told fans during Atletico's victory parade in the Spanish capital.

"For me it is an honour to be here and to share a dressing room with these people and achieve what we have achieved.

"It is a reward for hard work and sacrifice, and for the love we have for our colours that you can't buy.

"We are only just beginning."
