While Chelsea have the chance to make history and complete a first ever league and cup double on Saturday, they managed to get their hands on more silverware before the FA Cup final with Portsmouth has kicked off.
Dider Drogba's last-day hat-trick against Wigan Athletic meant he was the top flight's Golden Boot winner with 29, and he was presented with his trophy on Thursday.
The accolades for Blues players did not stop there as goalkeeper Petr Cech was awarded the Barclays Golden Glove for keeping the most clean sheets - 17. Liverpool's Pepe Reina also managed 17 clean sheets, but Cech's sheets-to-game ratio means the Spaniard misses out.
And the club also received a special prize, the Barclays Merit Award, for their goalscoring exploits - their 103 league goals was the first time a team had broken a tonne since records began in 1992. The Blues are also the first team to break a century in the English top flight since Tottenham in 1962-63.
The newly-crowned Champions' attacking exploits have been simply breathtaking this season, finishing the season with an 8-0 victory over Wigan at Stamford Bridge.
But their monumental victory last time out was not their only goal-fest of the season. Carlo Ancelotti's side managed to score seven goals in home victories against Aston Villa, Stoke City and Sunderland, in a season in which they have proven their attacking pedigree.
