.............................. UEFA Super Cup
Logo and Trademark..............................
The European Super Cup (UEFA Super Cup) is at stake in an annual football game between the reigning champions of the UEFA Cup and the Champions League. It takes place at the start of the domestic season, in August, and it is generally regarded as a minor event, with the Champions League and UEFA Cup winners not always fielding their strongest sides; since the game happens after the Summer transfer window, the teams selected may be different from the ones who won the qualifying competitions.
The most successful team is Italian side AC Milan, who have won the trophy five times. They faced Sevilla in the 2007 UEFA Super Cup on August 31, 2007 and won the match 3-1. The match was marred by the death of a Sevilla player just days before - Antonio Puerta. It is understood that AC Milan started the match unsure of how aggressively to play considering the emotionally charged nature of the evening, but Sevilla set the tone by scoring first, which led to Milan giving one of their finest performances and coming back to score three goals in the second half. Both teams dedicated the match to Puerta and all goalscorers made a point of celebrating Puerta's name which was printed on the back of all players shirts below their squad number.
The UEFA Super Cup has undergone some changes in its history, not only has the number of legs been changed but the trophy itself has undergone 3 stage changes. The first trophy wasnt a cup at all it was in fact a Plaque, that had a Gold UEFA Emblem on it with the continent inscribed within the Emblem, Teams to have won this trophy are Aberdeen FC, Aston Villa and many more alike. Stage 2 was the trophy being shaped into almost how it looks today.
The old UEFA Super Cup trophy - which was raised in celebration by footballing giants like Alessandro Nesta, Fernando Hierro and Paolo Maldini - was the smallest and lightest of all the European club trophies, weighing just 5kg and measuring a modest 42.5cm in height. With the UEFA Champions League trophy weighing in at 8kg and the UEFA Cup at 15kg, the UEFA Super Cup was never quite as super as it sounded.
That has all changed now, and with the new model trophy now standing at 58cm, the UEFA Super Cup now tips the scales at a strapping 12.2kg - a fair reflection of the importance of the final as the finale to the annual UEFA European Football Awards. And while the trophy may have put on weight, there will be no shortage of players eager to raise it after the final whistle in Monaco. The new trophy retains the basic design of its predecessor, which was designed and crafted at the Bertoni workshop in Milan. The classic bowl is held aloft on a base that is subtly twisted like a skein of wool while the two arms allow the winners enough room to take a firm grip as they do their lap of honour. The champion is entitled to have a replica made, provided that it does not exceed four-fifths of the dimensions of the original - which means that the winning team can craft a replica that is much bigger than the ones possessed by previous winners.
In line with the increased prestige of the competition, the new UEFA Super Cup trophy - which was lifted for the first time by Sevilla FC's Javi Navarro in August 2006 - is bigger and better than ever.
