Budimir's achievement is part of a notable group of Croatian players who have achieved this feat in the La Liga. Davor Suker was the first, scoring 24 goals for Sevilla and later repeating the feat with 24 goals for Real Madrid in the 1996-97 season.
Another notable Croatian player, Alen Peternac, also achieved 20+ goals in the same season, scoring 23 goals for Real Valladolid.
Osasuna's win over Atletico Madrid has lifted the team to ninth place in the La Liga standings with 48 points from 36 games.
