Exactly. Can't believe how spoilt some fans have got. Unbelievable.

I was one of the few saying from the beginning that this is a huge competition and criticizing the people saying we should only play reserves in the EL, but I think a parade would be over the top. I spent half the match against Benfica on my knees in front of the TV from nervousness and celebrated the win like crazy, but I can't say that winning the EL was a dream of mine nor was it an objective of the team at the start of the season. There's a fine line between being spoiled, which is what I think of the people who were saying we should intentionally lose in this competition, and having big ambitions for the club.

We won the Cup which we got into by dropping out the Champions League which we only got into cause we on the Champions League last season

Been a hell of a ride though!Horrible games at times and glad we took it seriously and didnt just think meh to it.Would've been slaughted if we did cause tough games.Only English team again to reach a European final 2nd time in 2 years...not bad :D

yeah, it seems kind of fair for us to win the competition we should've played in in the first place :D

Do we have to give back that champions league cup or does uefa make a new one every year and give it to the winner?

We will have to give it back and get a replica made for the museum/trophy cabinet. UEFA have some weird rule that the replica must be smaller than the real trophy.

^ that one is the real one. It has been returned to UEFA, but after winning the EL we were supposedly given dispensation to parade both trophies. But that one will have been handed back by now, and we'll get a replica cast.

If/when(?) we win it for a fifth time (probably won't be in my lifetime!), we will keep the real trophy and UEFA will commission a new one, as happened in 2005 for Liverpool.
