The trophy that the winning captain will lift at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome is the fifth version of the current design. After the original had been handed to Madrid in 1966, UEFA's General Secretary, Hans Bangerter, decided to create a new design and called in a local specialist in Berne, Jürg Stadelmann.
It is 62cm tall,weighs 7.5 kilos and cost CHF10,000 to make.
The Maker of the trohpy said "it may not be an artistic masterpiece,but everybody in football is keen to get their hands on it."
