PSG: Erling Haaland judges Luis Enrique's style without a striker

Based on the performances established during the league phase, the dams and the round of round of 16, the classification of the fastest players this season in the Champions League was unveiled, this Friday, thanks to the data compiled by UEFA. A classification dominated by Erling Haaland where we also find a Parisian and a… Brestois. Flashing during a meeting at 36.6km/h, Erling Haaland (Manchester City) arrives, in fact, in the lead in front of the right back of PSG Achraf Hakimi (36.5km/h) and the Madrilenian Kylian Mbappé (36.4km/h).

The top 5 is completed by the Portuguese midfielder from Manchester City, Matheus Nunes (36.3km/h), and the Brestois striker Mama Baldé (36.1km/h). We also find in this top 10 the ex-Lensois Abdukodir Khusanov (35.6km/h), who left this winter at Manchester City. The young central defender does for example better than Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid, 35.4km/h), Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich, 35.4km/h) or Bradley Barcola (Paris, 35.3km/h).
