We are often impressed by a dribble from elsewhere, an exceptional strike or a sensational save by a goalkeeper during a football match. But pure acceleration that makes all the difference in a big game is also spectacular. Do not say that you did not vibrate when Kylian Mbappé came up all the way in June 2018 against Argentina in the round of 16 of the World Cup. Or when Gareth Bale dropped the hapless Marc Bartra in 2014, during the Copa del Rey final, even allowing himself to go out of bounds. Well his moments of madness are also timed and we have, as you are now used to, recap the greatest feats of speed in a Top 10.
The two examples cited above (Kylian Mbappé and Gareth Bale) are obviously part of this classification. We even find the French twice, he who connects the performances at high speed. After 2018, he was flashed at 38 km / h in April 2019 during a French championship meeting with Paris Saint-Germain, against his former club, Monaco. This puts Mbappé in second position in this ranking. Other stars of the round ball are present. Cristiano Ronaldo, Achraf Hakimi, Alphonso Davies or Arjen Robben have reached crazy speeds in recent years. The Moroccan and the American are also making their appearance in the Top 10. And with their young age will undoubtedly gain places over the years.
Some surprises are also found in the ranking. At least, we never suspected that these men had such a burst of speed. We think of Dimitri Oberlin or Youcef Atal, who were already present last year. But a new kid has appeared in 10th position, it is the Stéphanois Yvann Maçon. During a Ligue 1 meeting at the start of the season, the young player was flashed at 36.4 km / h by the LFP radars. The international Espoirs was unfortunately cut off in its tracks just after, with the French Espoirs precisely, being the victim of a cruciate ligament rupture and having to put aside its progress for a few months.
The entire Top 10 fastest players in the world can be found in the video above.
