We already know the Liverpool defender uses his pace excellently, enabling Liverpool to play a high line and help get the team up the pitch. However, we didn’t realise just how fast he is.
According to stats from BT Sport, the centre-back was the quickest player on the pitch as the Reds beat PSG in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Running faster than Mo Salah, Sadio Mané and Kylian Mbappé, the Dutchman reached a top speed of 32.4km/h. Now that is fast.
While the Liverpool attack is now famous for hitting teams with their electrifying pace, it seems the defence can match them in the sprint stakes with Andrew Robertson and Joe Gomez also outrunning the frontmen in the Anfield clash.
