Erling Haaland topped the list as the fastest player in the competition, reaching 36.6 km/h. Hakimi outpaced his former Paris Saint-Germain teammate Kylian Mbappé, who ranked third with 36.4 km/h. In fourth place was Manchester City's Matheus Nunes with 36.3 km/h, followed by Brest forward Momo Baldé, who clocked in at 36.1 km/h.
