Europa League's fastest player – Morgalla leading the continent
Nobody as fast as Leo
We’re halfway through the UEFA Europa League group stage. And while our boys are still very much in the running to advance, we’re at the top in other key metrics. Leo Morgalla was clocked at a top speed of 36.7 km/h and is thus the sole leader among fastest UEFA Europa League players! Yorbe Vertessen is in a strong fifth-place at 35.1 kilometres per hour, and Dominik Schmid (eleventh at 34.8 km/h) is also representing Salzburg well.
Notably, Leo has even outpaced some of the biggest names in the UEFA Champions League. Whether it’s Kylian Mbappé, Jeremie Frimpong, or Alphonso Davies—none of these speedsters has sent the speedometer needle soaring as high as our reliable full-back has so far in European competition this season.
Want to see his raw pace in person? On Thursday, November 26, the UEFA Europa League lights will shine once again at our Red Bull Arena. Tickets for our match-up against Ararat-Armenia are available on open sale.
