Eng NED

Here is a look at the quickest English players at Euro 2024. Not surprisingly, Manchester City’s Kyle Walker comfortably tops the list- a defender known for his pace and speed despite being over 30 years of age. But Walker’s top speed of 34.8 km/h at Euro 2024 only places him at 20th in the overall list of quickest players at the tournament (French forward Kylian Mbappe is the fastest at 36.5 km/h)

Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa has been the second fastest player for England at this tournament, followed by the duo of Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka. Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher rounds off the top five.

(Note German rating system; 1 very good, 6 very bad)

Xavi Simons was the only player on either side to get a 2- no one got the best 1 rating. It was a pretty average game by Bild’s standards, as demonstrated by the number of 3’s and 4’s in terms of player ratings that they gave both sides.
