The '''European Champion Clubs' Cup''', also known as '''Coupe des Clubs Champions Européens''', or simply the '''European Cup''', is a [[trophy]] awarded annually by [[UEFA]] to the [[Association football|football]] club that wins the [[UEFA Champions League]]. The competition in its older format shared its name with the trophy, being also known as the ''European Cup'', before being renamed for the [[1992–93 UEFA Champions League|1992–93 season]] onwards.

There have been several official incarnations of this trophy, 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.<ref name="cup">{{cite book |url=http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/19071.pdf |title=Regulations of the UEFA Champions League |publisher=UEFA |page=4 |chapter=Article 2.01 {{ndash}} Cup |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030424060610/http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/19071.pdf |archive-date=24 April 2003 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="multiple-winner badge"/><ref name="badges">{{cite book |title=Regulations of the UEFA Champions League |page=26 |chapter=Article 16.10 {{ndash}} Title-holder logo }}</ref> During the first years of the competition, up until [[1966–67 European Cup|1966–67 season]], the trophy had a distinctively different design.

[[File:1962 European Cup in Museu Cosme Damião.JPG |thumb|The original European Cup design, awarded to [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]] in 1962.]]
The original European Cup trophy was donated by ''[[L'Équipe]]'', a French sports [[newspaper]].<ref name="ud-oct05">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/344979.pdf |magazine=uefadirect |issue=42 |date=October 2005 |page=8 |title=A brand new trophy |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051018081717/http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/344979.pdf |archive-date=18 October 2005 |url-status=live }}</ref> This trophy was awarded permanently to [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] in March 1967.<ref name="ud-oct05"/> At the time, they were the reigning champions, and had won six titles altogether, including the first five competitions from 1956 to 1960. [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] therefore became the first club to win the cup in its current design in 1967.

The replacement trophy, with a somewhat different design from the original, was commissioned by UEFA from Jörg Stadelmann, a jeweller from [[Bern]], Switzerland.<ref name="ud-oct05"/> At a cost of 10,000 [[Swiss franc]]s, it was [[silver]], 74 cm high, weighing 11 kg. Subsequent replacement trophies have replicated this design.<ref name="ud-oct05"/> The shape of the handles have earned it the nickname of "big ears" in multiple languages, including [[French language|French]] ("''la Coupe aux grandes oreilles''"), [[Italian language|Italian]] ("''La Coppa dalle grandi orecchie''"), [[Spanish language|Spanish]] ("''La Orejona''"), [[Russian language|Russian]] ("''Ушастый, Ushastiy''"), [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]] ("''Cúp tai voi''"), [[Chinese language|Chinese]] ("大耳朵杯") and [[Arabic language|Arabic]] ("''كأس ذات الأذنين''"). Between 1967 and [[1994 UEFA Champions League Final|1994]], the trophy bears the title "'''Coupe des Clubs Champions Européens'''" in sentence case; [[AC Milan]] were the last team to win this type of trophy. Since then, the trophy bears the title fully in capital letters, although the size is increased in the subsequent and current trophy.

The trophy that currently is awarded is the sixth and has been in use since 2006, after [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] won their fifth European Cup in [[2005 UEFA Champions League Final|2005]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The UEFA Champions League trophy |url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/finals/newsid=23694.html |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=20 March 2009 |access-date=8 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090323040747/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/finals/newsid=23694.html |archive-date=23 March 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Since 2009, Champions League winners have not kept the real trophy, which remains in UEFA's custody at all times.<ref name="UEFA honours" /> A full-size replica trophy, the ''Champions League winners trophy'', is awarded to the winning club with their name engraved on it.<ref name="uefa.com">{{cite web |title=Regulations of the UEFA Champions League 2008/09, Article 4 – "Trophy" page 5 |url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/regulations/uefa/others/70/22/60/702260_download.pdf |work=[[UEFA]] |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=March 2008 |access-date=24 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081010050440/https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/regulations/uefa/others/70/22/60/702260_download.pdf |archive-date=10 October 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Winning clubs are permitted to make replicas of their own.

===Clubs awarded the trophy permanently===

The one on the far right is the real trophy, given to Bayern permanently in 1976. The ones on the left are slightly smaller replicas]]

A rule introduced before the 1968–69 season allowed a club to keep the original trophy after five wins or three consecutive wins. At that point, Real Madrid was the only club meeting either qualification, and indeed met both. Once a club had been awarded the trophy, their count would be reset to zero.<ref name="UEFA honours">{{cite web|date=21 May 2018|title=How UEFA honours multiple European Cup winners|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0250-0c511b10d395-72f38b4cbce0-1000--how-uefa-honours-multiple-european-cup-winners/|publisher=UEFA|access-date=25 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170731191945/https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2478341.html|archive-date=31 July 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

Five clubs have been permanently awarded the real trophy under the old rules, from the 1968–69 to 2008–09 seasons:
*{{fbaicon|ESP}} [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]], after their sixth title in [[1965–66 European Cup|1966]]
*{{fbaicon|NED}} [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]], after their third consecutive title in [[1972–73 European Cup|1973]]
*{{fbaicon|GER}} [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]], after their third consecutive title in [[1975–76 European Cup|1976]]
*{{fbaicon|ITA}} [[AC Milan|Milan]], after their fifth title in [[1993–94 UEFA Champions League|1994]]
*{{fbaicon|ENG}} [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], after their fifth title in [[2004–05 UEFA Champions League|2005]]

Prior to 2008-09, a club whose Champions League title was not a fifth overall or third consecutive win kept the real trophy for ten months after their victory and received a scaled-down replica to keep permanently.

===Multiple-winner badge===

The badge is worn on the left sleeve of the team's shirt during Champions League matches. The original badge was a blue oval on which was an outline of the current trophy in white, overlaid with part of the Champions League starball logo. Above the trophy was the number of titles won by the club. At the start of [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League|2012–13 competition]], the badge became grey with a new design,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.acmilanstoreasia.com/stores/products/product.aspx?catid=538&productid=5481&product=Milan+UCL+Home+Jersey+2012%2f13+-+Long+Sleeve |title=AC Milan Asia Official Store website |publisher=Acmilanstoreasia.com |access-date=23 November 2012}}{{dead link|date=February 2023|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> which was used until the end of the [[2020–21 UEFA Champions League|2020–21 season]].

Starting with [[2021–22 UEFA Champions League|2021–22]], UEFA abolished the badge's use on the left sleeve, allowing for sleeve sponsors, and incorporated the badge into the regular "Starball Badge", with the number of victories placed on top of the middle star. Other teams wear the same badge but without any numbers. Additionally, title holders with three consecutive or five overall wins have their number of victories etched onto the title-holder badge, with the starball scrapped, while holders that do not have a right to wear the multiple-winner badge sport an empty grey title-holder badge.<ref name="sleeve badge">{{Cite web|title=UEFA Champions League 21-22 Sleeve Badges Leaked - Sleeve Sponsors From Next Season?|url=https://www.footyheadlines.com/2021/05/uefa-champions-league-21-22-sleeve-badge.html|access-date=8 May 2021|website=Footy Headlines|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507223621/https://www.footyheadlines.com/2021/05/uefa-champions-league-21-22-sleeve-badge.html|archive-date=7 May 2021|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="badge chaos">{{cite web|url=https://www.footyheadlines.com/2022/09/big-chaos-uefa-champions-league-22-23-kit-sleeve-badges.html|title=Big Chaos?

Although the trophy is no longer given to a team that wins a fifth overall or third consecutive title, the multiple-winner badge is still awarded to such clubs.<ref name="UEFA honours" />

Six teams have won five overall or three consecutive titles, and thus can wear the multiple-winner badge:

*{{fbaicon|ESP}} [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] (3 consecutive -two times-, 15 overall)
*{{fbaicon|ITA}} [[AC Milan|Milan]] (7 overall)
*{{fbaicon|GER}} [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] (3 consecutive, 6 overall)
*{{fbaicon|ENG}} [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] (6 overall)
*{{fbaicon|ESP}} [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] (5 overall)
*{{fbaicon|NED}} [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] (3 consecutive, 4 overall)

===Title-holder logo===
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.<ref name="badges"/> The logo is predominantly dark blue and was introduced in [[2004–05 UEFA Champions League|2004–05]], with [[FC Porto|Porto]] as the defending champions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.futbolyou.com/en/articles/2003-uefa-cl-rules.pdf|title=Regulations of the UEFA Champions League 2003–04|access-date=30 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141210121848/http://www.futbolyou.com/en/articles/2003-uefa-cl-rules.pdf|archive-date=10 December 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.futbolyou.com/en/articles/2004-uefa-cl-rules.pdf|title=Regulations of the UEFA Champions League 2004–05|access-date=30 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141210174153/http://www.futbolyou.com/en/articles/2004-uefa-cl-rules.pdf|archive-date=10 December 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> From [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|2006–07]] to [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League|2010–11]], the title holders also played with the match ball used in their winning final in their home matches, but from [[2011–12 UEFA Champions League|2011–12]], the title holders use the same match ball as the 31 other teams.

[[File:UEFA Champions League Titleholder Badge 2012.jpg|thumbnail|The title-holder logo worn by [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] in the 2012–13 season; the same design was used until 2020–21.]]
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 season of triumph in the centre of the badge. It was slightly modified in 2008–09 to feature the entirety of the star ball logo, with the other stars faded out, and it was drastically changed for the [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League|2009–10 competition]]. Without the star ball background, it instead featured a design of the trophy which was used for the branding of the [[2009 UEFA Champions League Final|previous season's final]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Azmie aka switch image |url=http://www.switchimageproject.com/2010/02/barcelona-champions-league-patch.html |title=Football teams shirt and kits fan: Barcelona Champions league patch |publisher=Switchimageproject.com |date=8 February 2010 |access-date=23 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100211030102/http://www.switchimageproject.com/2010/02/barcelona-champions-league-patch.html |archive-date=11 February 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

It was revamped again in [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League|2010–11]] to feature part of the star ball on show below the "champions" caption and the year of triumph. A replaced design was first worn by [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] in [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League|2012–13]]; it featured an outline design of the trophy along with the year,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chelseamegastore.com/stores/chelsea/artwork/english/banners/ucl_kits_xl_tlm.jpg |title=Chelsea FC Megastore website |access-date=23 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130728220449/http://www.chelseamegastore.com/stores/chelsea/artwork/english/banners/ucl_kits_xl_tlm.jpg |archive-date=28 July 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> the same design was kept from [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League|2015–16]] for the logo, but the material used on the logo was changed. Starting with the [[2021–22 UEFA Champions League|2021–22]] competition, reigning champions wear a new logo, which still keeps the same design, but is grey and no longer keeps the championship year in it. In case the title holder also wears a multiple-winner badge, the number of victories is incorporated in the logo which is used in place of the starball.<ref name="sleeve badge"/><ref name="badge chaos"/>

'''Paul Ackford''' (born 26 February 1958) is an [[England national rugby union team|English]] former [[rugby union]] international who played [[Lock (rugby union)|lock forward]]. He was formerly an inspector in the [[Metropolitan Police]] and a [[columnist]] for ''[[Telegraph Media Group|The Telegraph]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/paulackford/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080914125132/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/paulackford/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2008-09-14 |title=Paul Ackford - Sunday Telegraph's Rugby Union Columnist |work=The Telegraph|access-date=2012-10-03}}</ref>

==Early life==
Ackford was born in [[Hanover]], [[West Germany]].

==Education==
Ackford was educated at [[Plymouth College]], the [[University of Kent]] (BA) and [[Cambridge University]] (MA). He played lock for [[England national rugby union team|England B]] aged 21 and represented [[Cambridge University R.U.F.C.|Cambridge]] in the 1979 [[The Varsity Match|Varsity Match]], but did not make an impact until joining [[Harlequin F.C.|Harlequins]] and the [[Police]] in 1983.

==Rugby career==
After impressing for the London Division against the touring [[Australia national rugby union team|Wallabies]], Ackford made his England debut on 5 November 1988 against Australia, aged 30.

Partnering police constable [[Wade Dooley]], Ackford became an important part of the new side captained by [[Will Carling]]. He went on the [[1989 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia|1989 Lions Tour to Australia]], where he played in all three tests.

In 1990 he was knocked unconscious when blindsided by the young Argentine front row forward [[Federico Mendez]], which saw Mendez sent off. Mendez later claimed it was a case of mistaken identity, and that he had meant to hit [[Jeff Probyn]], because he had "stamped on my goolies".<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/uk-clubs/ruck-stars-hitting-it-off-in-the-world-of-rugby-955351.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081122112748/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/uk-clubs/ruck-stars-hitting-it-off-in-the-world-of-rugby-955351.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=22 November 2008 | title=Ruck stars: Hitting it off in the world of rugby | first=Tim | last=Glover | work=The Independent | date=9 October 2008| access-date=18 May 2010}}</ref> Ackford was part of the England side that won the Five Nations Grand Slam in 1991.

==Post-rugby career==
Ackford retired from international rugby after the [[1991 Rugby Union World Cup|1991 World Cup]], won by Australia, becoming a journalist and writing for the ''[[Sunday Telegraph]]''.
