PSG's Kylian Mbappe has been ranked as the fastest footballer in the world according to data from French newspaper Le Figaro. Clocking in at an impressive top speed of 36km/h, the French forward has come out ahead of well-known speedsters such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Leroy Sane.
Mbappe then comes through and finishes in (a still impressive) 10.9 seconds. Not bad but *much* slower (in 100m terms) compared to Bolt, who reached a blistering top speed of 27.8mph.
Champions League Championship EFL WSL Revealed Sport Football Mbullet Kylian Mbappe runs at 44.7kmph to score for PSG… just slower than world's fastest man Usain Bolt when setting world 100m... Mbappe then comes through and finishes in (a still impressive) 10.9 seconds.
Usain Bolt currently holds the world records for men's 100m, 200m sprints and was part of the 4x100m world record-holding Jamaican quartet that included Nesta Carter, Michael Frater and Yohan Blake.
Haaland runs the Frenchman close, though, having been recorded running 36.3km/h in the Bundesliga. Mbappé also has the edge in the Champions League this season, reaching a top speed of 35.6km/h compared to Haaland's 34.9km/h.
It is his speed of thought that impresses us as much as anything. But in terms of pure leg-blurring pace, Mbappe is the speedier of the two. Though Mbappe would win that 100m race, if the track was littered with obstacles and they had to dribble their way to the finish line, I would back Messi.
Mbappe has been clocked at 36km/h this season in Ligue 1 which is equal to 10m/s, with Walker's max speed reputedly 35.4kph (9.83m/s). “In our studies, only three athletes out of a dataset of over 200 elite team sports athletes clocked over 10m/s (36kph),” Dodoo says. “So they are right at the top end.

Kylian Mbappé, who has a 97 pace rating in FIFA 23, is the fastest player in the game.
Sitting at the pole of fastest Ligue 1 players is Mbappe. The lightning left winger put up the fastest run time over the first half of the French season, clocking in at a blistering 36 km/h (22.4 mph).
If we consider the fastest speed they have ever recorded in their respective careers, Kylian Mbappé is the winner. He recorded 38km/h against AS Monaco in Ligue-1. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo known for his extra-ordinary agility has recorded ~34km/h against Spain in the World Cup 2018.
That player is Lionel Messi. Messi is not just talented but has converted his talent into greatness. Neymar is a good player but Messi is a great one. Neymar plays great football but Messi is a great footballer.
Regarding the passing and playmaking skills we can see the following picture. Lionel Messi has a total of 14 asssists, 39 key passes (these are passes leading to a shot on goal) and he created a total of 0 chances.
