Topping this season’s list is Lois Openda, the Belgian forward currently on loan at Juventus from RB Leipzig. The 25-year-old has been clocked at a blistering 36.2 km/h, putting him ahead of some truly elite company.
Openda, who’s been linked in the past with Manchester United, Liverpool, and Aston Villa, has built his reputation on pace and power. Ironically, he’s yet to score this campaign — but when it comes to pure speed, nobody in Europe’s premier competition can match him.
Hot on his heels is a familiar face — Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who at 36 continues to defy time. The Marseille striker recorded 35.8 km/h, showing that he’s still capable of burning defenders despite crossing football’s so-called twilight years.
