Every League has its own history and a reason behind every award and trophies. Teams in each league fight Head-to-head to get their hands on the prestigious trophies that await the winner. So today we will be looking into the Trophies of every top 5 European leagues.

The Trophies of every top 5 European leagues are:

#1. The English Premier League

The Premier League is the trophy for which 20 teams go head to head against each other for 38  matches.

There are Two Trophies:

Two Trophies are identical and include an engraved base detailing past Premier League champions.

During the season, one stays with the Premier League champions, while the other is during the League.

Not only that the champions must return their Trophy to the Premier League at least three weeks before their final league match of the season.

Size of the Premier League Trophy:

Each Trophy stands 3ft 5in (104cm) tall and is 2ft (61cm) wide. It weighs 25.4kg in total.

Of that weight, the base into which the names of the champions are engraved comprises 15.9kg.

History of the Trophy:

The Trophies were cast by Asprey London, the Crown Jewellers, with the bodies made from solid sterling silver. The crowns are cast from a 24-carat silver gilt.

The bases are made from "malachite", a semi-precious stone found in Africa, with the green color of the opaque stone representing the field of play.

The design of the Trophy is based on the theme of "The Three Lions of English Football".

Two of the lions are above the handles on either side. When the captain of the title-winning team raises the trophy and its gold crown, above his head at the end of the season, he "becomes the third lion."

#2. La Liga Trophy

In April 1928, José María Acha, a director at Getxo, first proposed the idea of a national league in Spain. After much debate about the size of the league and who would take part, the Real Federación Española de Fútbol eventually agreed on the ten teams who would form the first Primera División in 1929.

In La Liga nine teams have been crowned champions, with Real Madrid winning the title a record 34 times. During the 1940s Valencia, Atlético Madrid, and Barcelona emerged as the strongest clubs, winning several titles.

#3. Bundesliga Trophy

The Bundesliga is the top-tier league in Germany, where 20 teams go head-to-head against each other for this prestigious shield.

The History of "Meisterschale":

The Bundesliga Meisterschale (championship shield) is awarded to the German champions at the end of the season. 1. FC Köln was the first club to receive the trophy in 1964 after the inaugural season of the then-new first division was introduced in 1963. Every German champion since 1949 has held this shield. It replaced the Viktoria statue, which had long disappeared in the turmoil of war.

The Meisterschale was designed and created by art professor Elisabeth Treskow in the Kölner Werkschulen. The names of all the German champions since 1903 are immortalized on it – starting with VfB Leipzig. A silver ring with engraving plates was added to it in 1981, to allow further champions' names to be engraved. Five 71.98 carat tourmaline cabochons, encased in gold, have also been set in the silver ring since then.

It was extended further before the 2008/09 season finale. Five larger engraving plates for additional names of German champions were added to the silver ring of the 11kg shield. There is, at present, space to immortalize the names of all titleholders up until 2027. The championship shield is insured for a sum of €50,000.

#4. Serie A Trophy

The most successful club is Juventus with 36 championships, followed by Internazionale and AC Milan with 19 and 18 championships respectively. Moreover, From the 2004/05 season onwards, an actual trophy was awarded to the club on the pitch after the last turn of the championship. The trophy, called the Coppa Campioni d'Italia, has officially in been used since the 1960/61 season, but between 1961 and 2004 was consigned to the winning clubs at the head office of the Lega Nazionale Professionisti.

The Bundesliga is the top-division tournament in German football. The competition was founded in 1962, and the first season began in 1963. The Bundesliga replaced the German national championship, which was the first tournament in German football history. And since then only one club has dominated with most Bundesliga titles. 

The German national championship, which was founded in 1903 and ran for 60 years, was a knockout competition contested between winners of each of the country's top regional leagues.

The founding member teams of the Bundesliga are 1860 Munich, Cologne, Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Braunschweig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hertha Berlin, Kaiserslautern, Karlsruhe, Preußen Münster, MSV Duisburg, Nuremberg, Saarbrücken, Schalke, Vfb Stuttgart and Werder Bremen.

Bayer Leverkusen, the European Invincibles | sportzpoint.com
Bayer Leverkusen became the 13th team to win the Bundesliga title in the 2023-24 season.

Besides the Bundesliga, which operated in West Germany, the DDR-Oberliga was the top-level football league in Soviet-controlled East Germany. Following the reunification of Germany, the Bundesliga became the national league of the country.

The Bundesliga started as a 16-team tournament but would soon expand to 18 teams from 1965.

In a one-off event, the league played the 1991-92 season with 20 teams following the reunification, but would return to its 18-team format in the following campaign.

There have been 13 different winners of the Bundesliga since its inception in 1963.
