Mbappe (772) has touched the ball more than Kane (445) and Haaland (257) combined. A much higher percentage of Haaland's touches come in the penalty area too. Haaland has only created six chances for team-mates, compared to Mbappe's 38 and Kane's 27.
The Premier League's fastest players have been revealed with Manchester City's Erling Haaland among the quickest in the competition. Haaland has clocked a top speed of 35.7 km/h this season, according to BBC Sport and Opta.
The "GOAT" (Greatest Of All Time) in football is a subjective debate, but Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are overwhelmingly considered the top contenders, with Messi often edging out due with recent major wins like the 2022 World Cup, though Ronaldo's longevity and dominance in multiple leagues also make a strong case, with many legends and publications naming Messi as #1. Other historical greats like Pelé and Maradona are also part of the conversation.
Speed Metrics and Comparisons
Tyreek Hill has been recorded running over 23 mph on the football field, while Kylian Mbappé has been clocked at over 22.4 mph during soccer matches. At first glance, it might seem like Hill is faster, but it's essential to consider the context.
🇳🇱 Virgil van Dijk clocked the fastest top speed (34.9km/h) for #LFC in the Champions League this season. It ranked him among the top 5 centre-backs. Still very much at the peak of his powers.
Mbappe has scored 57 per cent of Madrid's 44 goals in La Liga and the Champions League, while Haaland, after a fast start, has received more help but has still contributed 44 per cent of City's 45 goals so far in Europe and the Premier League. Not all strikes carry equal value, though.
🚨 XCLUSIVE: Erling Haaland has signed a new 9.5- year contract with Manchester City, committing him to the club until 2034. The deal removes any exit clauses and is reportedly one of the most lucrative in sporting history. 🔵✍️🇳🇴 (via @David_Ornstein)
Gareth Bale (Los Angeles FC): 36.90 km/h ⚽
FASTEST PLAYERS
Erling Haaland has now scored 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 goals for Manchester City than Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Manchester United. 😲👏 🇳🇴 Haaland: 146 goals in 168 games 🇵🇹 Ronaldo: 145 goals in 346 games.
Two lethal goal scorers, both standing at around 6ft 4inches, but separated by a chasm in terms of their playing styles. Haaland's threat can be explained by his sheer dominance in the physical aspects of the game. He is faster, stronger and more aggressive than most.
Mbappe hails 'incredible' achievement of matching 'idol' Ronaldo. In quotes carried by Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Mbappe said: "It's incredible, in my first [full] year to be able to do what Cristiano did. "[He's] my idol, the best player in Real Madrid's history.
If we go goal for goal, Messi has a library of amazing goals. Goals that are unique and creative. Mbappe is more like Ronaldo in his scoring, well positioned, good striking, but not many goals that would leave you scrambling for words to describe them the way Messi does.
Haaland's 32 goals for club and country are more than anyone else in Europe's big five leagues, with Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe being the only two players who even come close to his numbers.
'Kylian Mbappe, all day' - Thierry Henry admits he'd prefer to coach Real Madrid star over Erling Haaland because he has 'more talent' than Man City frontman.
yes, Cristiano would beat him right now.
It's way more straightforward. Bolt is retired. Cristiano is still training like a machine. Bolt hung up his spikes in 2017; Cristiano, at 40, maintains one of the most elite physiques in sports and follows a daily routine that borders on military discipline.
Vinicius is the second fastest player out of the rest of the locker room, having shown that he can reach a top speed of 36.5 km/h.
Usain Bolt from Jamaica ran the 100m in 9.58 seconds, setting the current world record at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin, a record that still stands today.
Xavier Worthy is the only player in Madden 26 with a 99 Speed rating. Tyreek is fast on the highway when he's late for his own game 😆 I'd be interested to see their 40 yard dash time compares now…. Worthy is young and hungry, Tyreek is frustrated and getting older.
No, Kylian Mbappé isn't faster than Usain Bolt in a straight 100m sprint; while Mbappé hits incredible top speeds (around 38kph/23.6mph) during football matches, Bolt's peak speed was much higher (44.7kph/27.8mph), and he sustained a faster average speed over the whole record-breaking 9.58s run, demonstrating absolute sprint dominance. Mbappé excels in football's dynamic bursts and acceleration, whereas Bolt is the undisputed fastest human over 100m, making Bolt the winner in a direct race.
