Euro 2020: The fast and the furious

Which players have run fastest and covered the most distance at Euro 2020? The statistics available on the UEFA website gives an interesting slant on who have been the big performers at the finals. Note that all stats are up to the semifinal stage.

BOLT LIKE SPINNA

Hungary's Loic Nego and Italy's injured left-back Leonardo Spinazzola remain the men to chase, though in terms of pace it would be a photo finish between most of the top five in a 100m sprint.

PEDRI: HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE

Pedri, 18, has been one of the standout performers at Euro 2020, but the stats confirm that he puts the effort in too. No one has run further than the Barca midfielder.

VERRATTI'S BITE

The energetic midfielder has impressed since coming back from injury, silencing calls for Manuel Locatelli to start. Verratti's bite proved decisive against Belgium and Spain. He is the only player in the Italy squad with no Serie A career appearances.

DANISH DYNAMITE

Atalanta full-back Joakim Maehle's frequent runs were a menace to opponents. Of Raheem Sterling's 248 sprints, 63 came in the semis: the highest total of any player in the last-four games.
