The top ten fastest players in the Champions League have been revealed ahead of the quarter-finals this week - with Marcus Rashford and Kylian Mbappe among the stars leading the charge.
We're approaching the business end of Europe's elite competition and while we've seen some incredible performances on the biggest stage so far, fans have also been treated to some breathtaking runs and players surging down the flanks.
Marca have revealed the quickest players in the competition so far, and it will be no surprise to see Mbappe and Rashford among the group of speedsters.
The former will hope to continue terrorising his opponents, starting with a huge test against Barcelona as PSG welcome the Spanish giants to Paris on Wednesday - while the latter is no longer in the Champions League after Manchester United were eliminated in the group stage.
No 10 on the list may raise some eyebrows, considering this player only featured in the Champions League for 162 minutes across three games this season.
Kylian Mbappe are among the top ten fastest players in the Champions League this season - but who takes No 1 spot?
Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali - currently serving a ten-month ban over betting offences - registered a top speed of 35.5km/h after playing against AC Milan, PSG and Borussia Dortmund before sanctions were brought against him.
At No 9 is Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies, who is a renowned speedster. He also clocked in at 35.5km/h - as did No 8 and No 7 on the list, Manchester City's Erling Haaland and RB Leipzig
