Gerrard was handling it because L'pool won it for the 5th time in 2005 thus getting to keep it. We wee the first to win THIS trophy in 2006 ;)

Also teams who win it 5 times / 3 consecutive get to wear special arm patches. Real Madrid 9, Milan 7, Ajax 4 and Bayern 4. Check Champions league photos of these teams ;)

i liked the fact they brought the trophies to africa. why not also bring the trophies to asia, like japan for ex, the japanese will go crazy for sure. and china, its such a huge market. they could send the trophies for a tour there with some players of barca athletic for like. promotional appearances and stuff. they will be treated like pop stars there hehe.

Champions League winners do not keep the real trophy, which remains in UEFA's keeping at all times. A full size replica trophy, the Champions League winners trophy, is awarded to the winning club. [3] It used to be that a club that won the competition five times, or three times consecutively, got to keep an original. From this year, every winner will receive a replica with their name engraved on it. [4] Winning clubs are also permitted to make replicas of their own, however they must be clearly marked as such and can be a maximum of eighty percent the size of the actual trophy.

The original souce of that is the uefa regulations
