The usage of AI for making designs and decisions has been the trend recently. We had also hopped in on the trend when we asked Chat GPT, a chatbox built by OpenAI, who the soccer GOAT is. We asked the AI to decide the best soccer player among the famed choices of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The UEFA Europa League trophy tips the weighing scales at over 33 lbs. It is the heaviest trophy in the UEFA silverware list. According to UEFA, “the trophy, a silver cup on a yellow marble plinth, was designed and crafted by the Bertoni workshop in Milan.”
The original trophy remains with the parent organization’s keeping at all times. A full-sized replica is usually awarded to the Europa League-winning club. According to tradition, a special mark of recognition is given to any club which wins the trophy “three consecutive times or five times in total”.
That club then starts a new cycle from zero. This happened as recently as in the 2015/16 season. Sevilla fulfilled both criteria together when they won a third successive title and their fifth in all.
The current holders of the Europa League are the Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt. They got the better of the Rangers 5–4 on penalties in the 2022 final.
Other fans complimented all the designs.
Wow these are so beautiful 😍 😲

Some fans, on the other hand, were concerned with how the Premier League trophy looked. With its sharp edges, they believed that it might hurt the players.
