In a thrilling display of athleticism at the Euros, Spain’s Ferran Torres clocked the second-highest speed of the tournament, showcasing his remarkable pace on the field.
During Spain’s match against Germany, Torres was substituted into the game in the second half. Brought on to energize the team’s attack, he was a constant threat with his blazing speed. In a moment that had fans on the edge of their seats, Torres was recorded sprinting at an incredible 36 km/h. This impressive burst of speed placed him just behind France’s Kylian Mbappé, who achieved the highest recorded speed of the tournament at 36.5 km/h.
While Torres may not have caught Mbappé, his performance solidified his standing as one of the fastest players in the Euros. His ability to outpace defenders and create scoring opportunities added an exciting dimension to Spain’s offensive strategy.
More importantly it gives Hansi Flick more to consider regarding how to best use Torres for Barca in pre-season to see if his system can take advantage of this speed advantage.
