Olympiacos coach Ernesto Valverde commended his players after seeing his side claim the Super League title with three matches to spare.
The Piraeus club had been trailing Panionios 2-1 in yesterday's match, but hit back to secure a 3-2 victory thanks to Dudu's 72nd-minute strike.
The result - coupled with Panathinaikos' draw - gave Olympiacos an unassailable 11-point cushion at the top and ensured they lifted their fifth successive league trophy.
Valverde, who only joined the club last summer, is now hoping to add the Greek Cup to cap off a memorable year.
"I didn't expect us to secure the league title so early in the season and with such a comfortable margin over our rivals," said the former Espanyol coach.
"The credit goes to the players and I want to thank them for their effort. Now, our goal is to also win the cup and finish off the season with the domestic double."
