Modric, Carvajal, Ronaldo: Which players have won the most Champions Leagues?

Which players have won the Champions League most often?

The Champions League is widely regarded as the most prestigious club tournament in world football, and it has been an annual event on the continent since 1955.

Those who are often regarded as the greatest to have ever played the game have at least one of these winners' medals tucked away in their trophy cabinet.

Winning the competition once would be enough to cement a player's name in the history books, but some have been fortunate enough to claim the trophy on multiple occasions.

Five stars have earned a winners' medal a remarkable six times, while a further 15 have won the tournament at least five times.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at which players have won the European Cup/Champions League at least five times.
