Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk has been revealed as the fastest player in the 2018-19 Champions League season campaign, MySportDab reports.

The Dutch defender outpaced the likes of Gareth Bale and Leroy Sane and even his own rapid teammates Mohamed Salah And Sadio Mane with a top speed of 34.5km per hour.

PSG Star Kylian Mbappe didn't even manage to make the top five but Bale, even despite a lack of games this season, landed fifth spot for a sprint in a Real match against Roma.

Bale reached 33.8 KM/H during the game but that was pipped by Man City defender Kyle Walker, who hit 34.2 KM/H for the Blues against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Van Dijk, who was instrumental in helping Liverpool to secure the European Cup in the heart of defence, was ranked first ahead of some of Europe's most attacking threats.

The centre-back's fastest sprint came against Barcelona at the Camp Nou when the hosts went bursting forward on a counter-attack after a Reds corner in the 92nd minute.

He is a very hardworking defender.

All accolades he gets is well deserved.

Not possible ....how can that tall sluggish defender be that fast

Well deserved ��

Na lie

his an lie

Hmmmmm how right is this stat?

Meanwhile.....Yes van dijk had a good season but we are over hyping now.

Especially with that no player have passed him from beginning of last season. Yes no player passed him but they should add he fouled players and even caused penalty sometimes. They should stop making it look like no player passed him and he collected the ball without any foul

I dunno how they measure top speed but i'm pretty sure Van dijk isn't faster than Mbappé,Sané,Rashford,Mané, Salah etc.

Ah!

Campaign in swift gear.
No one plays the game better than Messi. No one had a better season than Messi. He was on the league of his own all season. He dominated la liga, UCL and copa dey ray. Produced 51 goals in 50 matches. Won European golden shoe, highest goal scorer in UCL. He was a scorer as well as a playmaker and no one produced assist more than him. From penaka penalty to penaka free-kick. Messi is simply a joy to watch. He doesn't go to media to announce these achievement. If you see anyone hating Messi, don't argue with him rather help him with his video clip.
MESSI IS THE GOAT

He remains an extraordinary defender.
