Anorthosis' Amir Azmi is jubilant with the way by which his team were crowned Cypriot League champions at the weekend. Anorthosis benefited from APOEL FC's slump at Larnaca to clinch the title before facing Omonia Nicosia on Sunday. "It was a splendid surprise really, our camp went wild after we got the news of APOEL's defeat, we are grateful to Larnaca," Azmi told FilGoal.com on Sunday. "We were highly focused on Sunday's game, but as soon as we knew we are champions, celebrations started and fans were everywhere." The result of Omonia's game will not affect Azmi's side, who have an unassailable nine-point lead over their closest rivals, three weeks before the end of the competition.
