When it comes to sheer speed in La Liga this season, Real Madrid's Vinícius Jr. has left the competition in the dust—including a certain Barcelona winger. According to data from Kognia and BeSoccerPro, as reported by Mundo Deportivo, the Brazilian sensation has clocked a blistering top speed of 36.21 km/h, making him the fastest player in Spain's top flight for the 2025/26 campaign.
Hot on his heels is Marcus Rashford, currently on loan at Barcelona from Manchester United. The English forward has recorded a sprint speed of 36.02 km/h—impressive, but just shy of Vinícius's mark. Meanwhile, Vinícius's Real Madrid teammate Kylian Mbappé has reached 35.04 km/h, though he's been outpaced by another Brazilian: Barcelona's Raphinha, who hit 35.61 km/h.
The speed rankings don't stop there. Real Madrid's Rodrygo, Athletic Club's Nico Williams, Osasuna's Víctor Muñoz, and Real Sociedad's Takefusa Kubo all feature among the fastest players lighting up La Liga this season. Whether you're tracking these stars on the pitch or gearing up like them, speed is clearly the name of the game in Spanish football right now.
