PGA Tour Champions event rained out on Friday The competition in its older format shared its name with the trophy, being also known as the European Cupbefore being renamed for the —93 season onwards. Several different physical trophies have had the name, as a club was entitled to keep the cup after five wins or three consecutive wins, with a new cup having to be forged for the following season. Celtic therefore became the first club to win the cup in its current design in Subsequent replacement trophies have replicated this design. Milan was the last team to win this type of trophy. Since then, the trophy bears the title fully in capital letters, albeit the size is increased in the subsequent and current The Trophy of Champions. The trophy that currently is awarded is the sixth and has been in use sinceafter Liverpool won their fifth European Cup in A full-size replica trophy, the Champions League winners trophyis awarded to the winning club with their name engraved on it. The previous rule introduced before the —69 season, allowed a club to keep the trophy after five wins The Trophy of Champions three consecutive wins.

Once a club had been awarded the trophy, the count was reset to The Trophy of Champions. For example, a club with no prior titles which won six titles in a row would have been permanently awarded trophies after the third and sixth wins each for three-in-a-row but not after their fifth win. A club whose Champions League title win was not a fifth overall or third consecutive previously kept the real trophy for ten months after their victory and received a scaled-down replica to keep permanently. The multiple-winner badge, [2] was introduced for the start of the —01 competition [8] for clubs that kept the trophy permanently.

A separate "title-holder logo" is worn by the reigning Champions League champions in the following season's competition in place of the regular patch worn by the other competing teams. However, whereas Juventus wear three stars as they have won over 30 titles, there is no provision for The Trophy of Champions UEFA badges of honour, as the count within the badge can be incremented indefinitely. From —07 to —11the title holders also played with the match ball used in their triumphant final in their home matches, but from —12the title holders use the same match ball as the 31 The Trophy of Champions teams. The original design for the title-holder badge featured two of the interconnecting stars of the competition's star ball logo at the top, with the caption "champions" and the The Trophy of Champions of triumph in the centre of the badge. It was slightly modified in —09 to feature the entirety of the star ball logo, albeit with the other stars faded out, and it was drastically changed for the —10 competition. Without the star ball background, it instead featured a design of the trophy which was used for the branding of the previous season's final.
