EURO 2024 fastest player ranking: Mbappe only ranked 9th

Kylian Mbappe is famous for being the fastest attacking star in the world. However, at the EURO 2024 finals, there are many players who run faster than the captain of the French team.

Mbappe's top speed at EURO 2024 is 35 km/h, ranking 9th in the top 10 fastest players in the tournament according to UEFA data.

Leading the "speed king" rankings at EURO 2024 is Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian striker reached a maximum speed of 35.9 km/h. The second place is Valentin Mihaila, a winger from Romania, with a maximum speed of 35.8 km/h.

Rasmus Hojlund, striker of Man Utd and Denmark national team, also possesses impressive speed (35.5 km/h). However, Hojlund has not scored any goals at EURO 2024. After 3 matches, the player born in 2003 has only had 2 shots.

In the top 10 fastest players in the EURO 2024 group stage, there are 3 defenders, namely Nuno Mendes (Portugal - 35.2 km/h), Jeremie Frimpong (Netherlands - 35.2 km/h) and Kieran Tierney (Scotland - 35 km/h).

Tierney is a full-back but at this year's EURO, he was pushed into the centre-back position in Scotland's 3-5-2 formation. The Arsenal star was playing well but suddenly suffered a hamstring injury and had to take a long break.
