After the results were announced, viewers saw Nemo back on stage. The winner was overwhelmed and reacted very emotionally to his victory. At one point, he accidentally "clicked" the trophy.
The crystal symbol of the Eurovision victory simply did not survive the displays of joy from its new owner.
However, it later emerged that the contest organizers did not leave Nemo without a trophy. They provided another statuette that was different from the first one.

If the "old" trophy had a flag and colorful elements, the new one was plain without any special features. Presumably, the Eurovision organizers had a "spare" statuette ready. And as it turned out, it was not in vain.
Nemo assures in the video that it's hard to believe what happened.
Nevertheless, the problem was resolved, so the winner shouldn't worry because now he has two winning statuettes.

The grand final of the contest made viewers from around the world nervous. While bookmakers predicted an undisputed victory for Croatia's representative, the voting changed everything. Nemo secured first place, with Baby Lasagna coming in second.
Representatives from Ukraine, artists Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil, powerfully closed the top three despite bookmakers removing them from the list of potential winners just a day before the final.
