He further won a Premier League title and three FA Cups. Lampard led Chelsea to their first Champions League success in 2012 and the first Europa League title a year later. He was awarded the Premier League Player of the Season twice, UEFA Midfielder of the Year once (2008) and was named in the PFA Team of the Year five times.
