Davies was the FASTEST player in UCL last season with 4 EPL stars on the list

Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies recorded the top speed of any player in last season's Champions League.

UEFA have released the figures from the 2022-23 campaign, and it puts Davies clear of his counterparts in Europe's elite club competition.

The Canadian full back has been widely recognised as one of the fastest players in the game over recent years, and he now has the numbers to back it up after reaching 37.1km/h in a group game against eventual finalists Inter Milan last term.

Davies was closely followed by Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukrainian forward has struggled to settle at Stamford Bridge since his £88m move in January, but had no such issues at previous club Shakhtar Donestsk.

He was in full flight when Shakhtar drew 1-1 with Celtic last October, and was clocked at 36.6km/h during the match.

Mudryk's speed was matched by Ousmane Dembele, who recently joined PSG from Barcelona.

Mudryk is not the only Premier League player to make UEFA's list, which contains 11 players.

Arsenal's Nuno Tavares reached 36.2km/h during his loan spell at Marseille, and Aston Villa's summer signing Moussa Diaby was just a touch slower at 36.1km/h while playing for Bayer Leverkusen.

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai also made the cut with a speed of 35.9km/h during his time at RB Leipzig.

None of the four Premier League stars are likely to get the chance to get on the list again this season, as Chelsea, Liverpool and Villa all failed to qualify for the Champions League, while Tavares is linked with a move away from Arsenal having found himself down the pecking order in Mikel Arteta's squad.

Elsewhere on the list, AC Milan's Rafael Leao took fourth spot with a speed of 36.5km/h. He played a starring role in his side's run to the semi-finals before they were eliminated by city rivals Inter.

He was just ahead of Porto's Gabriel Veron (36.4km/h) and Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde (36.3km/h).

Borussia Dortmund youngster Karim Adeyemi (36.1km/h) and Benfica's Rafa Silva (35.9km/h) completed the list.

Interestingly, neither Kylian Mbappe or Kyle Walker made the top 11.

Both players are viewed as two of football's quickest players and had a fascinating battle in last year's World Cup quarter-final between France and England, but they did not achieve a top speed to get them onto this list.

Walker's Manchester City team-mate Erling Haaland was another surprise omission given he has previously gone viral for racing up the pitch to get on the end of counter-attacks.

He finished as the top scorer in the Champions League in 2022-23 with 12 goals, but was not one of the quickest players in the competition.
