How tall is the last version of the European Football's Champions League Cup?

The European Champion Clubs' Cup, also known as the European Cup, is a trophy awarded annually by UEFA (The Union of European Football Associations) to the 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 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.

The current trophy which is 74 cm high and weighs 11kg or 24.2lbs is the sixth in a series of replacements and has been in use since 2006 after Liverpool won their fifth European Cup in 2005. The original design was permanently awarded to Real Madrid in March 1967.

I knew it was big so an easy one to figure out. A question on the size of the Ashes trophy would be great.

Good to see metric and imperial for those still living in the past!

Poor options! You are going to be the winner of the championship of a major sporting league and you are going to get a trophy that is less than a foot tall? Maybe, it might be just over an inch tall? 8.8% thought that just over an inch would make a great trophy! "You are the European champions! Here is your trophy and a magnifying glass to admire it with."
