Edouard Mendy, Ruben Dias, N Golo Kante and Erling Haaland won the positional awards for the 2020-21 Champions League.
Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy kept nine clean sheets in last season s competition as the Blues won the trophy for the second time, beating Manchester City 1-0 in the final.
City defender Dias was named the best defender, while Chelsea s Kante – UEFA s man of the match in each leg of the semi-final and the final – won the prize for midfielders.
Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland was chosen as the best forward in 2020-21.
The players were chosen from a shortlist of 12, who had each received the most points in each positional category following a jury vote. The jury comprised coaches from the 32 clubs that entered into the group stage last season, as well as 55 journalists representing UEFA s 55 member associations. Coaches could not vote for players from their own teams.
Five of the 12 nominees were from Chelsea: Mendy, Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, Kante and Jorginho.
City had three representatives – Ederson, Dias and Kevin De Bruyne – while beaten semi-finalists Real Madrid and PSG provided one each: Thibaut Courtois, and Kylian Mbappe.
Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski and Haaland, who finished as top scorer last season with 10, were the other nominees.
