Chelsea star surprisingly among fastest players in Euro 2020 ahead of Sterling, Mbappe

 



Chelsea and Denmark centre-back Andreas Christensen is among the top 10 players in the Euro 2020 in terms of top speed records.

The 25-year-old has had a great tournament so far, having helped Denmark reach the semi-finals.


Christensen himself is arguably one of the outstanding players in the tournament.


He has made 30 ball recoveries in the five games he played — joint ninth-best in the competition, as well as six tackles and seven clearance attempts.


Defending aside, he has also been showcasing his ball-playing abilities, completing 90% of his passes so far.


Not to mention that he surprised a lot of people, including BBC pundit Ashley Williams, with his impressive display in midfield against Wales.


Christensen might surprise more people as he has recorded joint seventh-highest top speed in the tournament according to the UEFA’s official website.


Italy’s Leonardo Spinazzola and Hungary’s Loic Nego tied at the top with recorded top speeds of 33.8 km/h, but Christensen is certainly not far off at 33.3 km/h.
