UEFA Champions League |
The winning club gets possession of the trophy at the awards ceremony, but must return it to UEFA headquarters two months before the following year's final. UEFA gives the winners a scaled-down replica of the trophy to keep permanently. However, the current competition rules also specify that the actual trophy will be permanently awarded to a team that wins three consecutive years or five times in all. Five clubs have been awarded the UEFA badge of honour and the right to keep the trophy permanently: Real Madrid (who won the first five competitions from 1956 to 1960), Ajax Amsterdam (who won consecutively in 1971-1973), Bayern Munich (who won consecutively in 1974-1976), A.C. Milan (who won for the fifth time in 1994), Liverpool (whose 2005 win was their fifth overall.) |
