The club can keep the trophy after winning the title five times
|
Celebrating Liverpool players got so carried away after winning the Champions League that they dropped the trophy, damaging it.
The club's museum said the famous silverware, which the club now owns after winning the competition five times, now sports a dent on one handle.
There are no plans to get the trophy fixed, the club said.
Curator Steve Done said: "We decided not to get it repaired because it is part of the character of the cup."
The trophy was reportedly dropped by a player during celebrations at the team's hotel in Istanbul.
They won the competition after beating AC Milan on penalties last Wednesday following a dramatic comeback from 3-0 down at half-time.
