THE European Cup was accidentally damaged as the Reds celebrated their win. 

The famous silver trophy was dropped on to a grand piano as the squad partied into the night at their Istanbul hotel, denting one of the handles.
 
Curators at the club's Anfield museum, where the trophy is on display, said there were no plans to repair the damage because it was part of the "character" of the cup.
 
It is understood that the player who dropped the cup was striker Milan Baros.
 
But Liverpool do not have to worry about upsetting European football's governing body Uefa. The trophy will remain in the city after the club won it for the fifth time.
 
Curator Steve Done said: "We decided not to get it repaired because it is part of the character of the cup. It would be a shame to have it mended."
 
In 2001, the Liverpool players' over-enthusiastic celebrations also left the FA Cup damaged after they beat Arsenal.
