Kylian Mbappé is the fastest player in the Real Madrid locker room.

At least for now, the Frenchman has the highest top speed recorded to date out of all of the current squad. Mbappé has reached a max sprint speed of 37.9 km/h, according to speedsdb.com studio. Although perhaps he possesses a smaller threat over short distances than Vinicius Jr, Mbappé wins in a test of who is capable of hitting a higher top speed when it comes to sprinting.

Despite the success of the world champion, it is not be much. 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.

The Brazilian, in fact, has greatly enhanced this aspect of his game, carrying out specific lower body work to squeeze out this number. Behind Vini, winning the bronze medal, we have Fede Valverde, who reached 36.3 km/h.

Behind, in fourth position, someone who may surprise: left-back Ferland Mendy managed to get up to a staggering 35.2 km/h. From then on, there is a jump downwards with Rodrygo (33.9 km/h), Brahim (33.5 km/h), Camavinga (33.3 km/h) and Bellingham (32.6 km/h.).

Mbappé, after a long dance with Real Madrid, was finally announced as an official signing on June 4th. The French forward joined from PSG after he spent 6 years there following a transfer from AS Monaco.
