Introduce the European League trophy and armband;
The European Cup itself weighs 15kg. The cup is silver and the base is yellow marble. It was designed and produced by a studio named Bertoni in Milan for the final of 1972, weighing15kg. The silver cup is mounted on a marble base. This trophy has no handle, and its beauty lies in its simplicity.
Above its base, a group of players are fighting fiercely for the ball. In fact, they are supporters of the octagonal trophy, which is also decorated with the UEFA logo. Before the 2009/ 10 season reform, UEFA stipulated that any club that won the championship three times in a row or five times in total could keep the trophy forever; However, after the current amendment, the trophy belongs to UEFA's permanent reservation. The winner of each champion can get a replica trophy.
Teams that have won five (or more) championships or three consecutive championships can use the UEFA champion honor armband on their jerseys; The number on the armband corresponds to the number of European champions won by the club. Seville Football Club has won only seven championships, but it is allowed to use the armband of honor on its jerseys.
