Every UEFA Champions League Player of the Week

UEFA.com has run a Player of the Week vote since 2015/16. Who has won it most times?

Keep track of the UEFA Champions League Player of the Week winners, and see who tops the poll for each matchweek since the vote began in 2015/16.

• Cristiano Ronaldo has won more Player of the Week votes than any other player; indeed he is one of just five players to have topped the poll more than once. Going into the 2018/19 season, he had triumphed in 13 of the 39 polls that theoretically he had been eligible for – a one-in-three strike rate.

• Real Madrid players have won 16 times from a potential 51 (just over 31% of possible successes), with Barcelona their nearest rivals with 14 victories. Sergio Ramos (2016 final), Keylor Navas (2018 semi-final second leg) and Gareth Bale (2018 final) are their only winners who are not Ronaldo.

• Lionel Messi won the vote three times in the 2018/19 group stage, just as he did in the same phase of the 2016/17 competition. Ronaldo won the vote three times in the 2015/16 and 2017/18 group stages.

• Ronaldo was Player of the Week six times in the 2015/16 campaign – still a record, though one Messi can match if he wins one more award this season. Ronaldo became the first player to be Player of the Week with two different clubs when he topped the poll in this season's round of 16 with Juventus.
