2. Gareth Bale (Wales) – 34.7 km/hr
The Welsh speedster misses out on top of the list, very narrowly. Nonetheless, in visual appearance, Bale is swifter than any other football player in the world. He has received plaudits from the football world for his tremendous pace with which he goes past even the most resolute defence.
Since coming in as a teenager for Southampton, Bale caught the eye of everyone with his stylish, as well as, brawny runs from post-to-post. He debuted as a left back and joined Tottenham in 2007, which became the turning point of his career. His composure and prolificacy in front of goal helped him to advance his position on the pitch.
He joined Real Madrid in 2013, and even played as a second striker for Los Blancos – all credit to his talent, determination, and speed, of course.
