Kylian Mbappe and Alphonso Davies, the two quickest players at the time, faced off in the 2020 Champions League final. The two “speed ghosts” can team up for Real Madrid next season. Every defense will fear Los Blancos’ devastating left wing.
The arrival of Mbappe and Davies will give Real Madrid a fresh left wing. The 2019/20 Champions League saw these combination hit speeds of over 36km/h, making them the continent’s quickest players. Mbappe was called “other than his speed, there’s nothing special” whereas Davies was a rising star.
Today’s Mbappe plays differently than four years ago. He dribbles more and uses skill to beat opponents while regulating his tempo. “Kylian Mbappe’s playing style is now refined. Like Lionel Messi, he plays slowly and moves more, yet accelerates up when needed. Mbappe becomes even more dangerous and unpredictable “Bixente Lizarazu, Ligue 1 specialist and former Bayern and France player, examined Mbappe’s now playing style.
Even if they are pushed to the top of the assault, Mbappe and Vinicius will switch positions to make Real Madrid’s left corridor more unpredictable. While flanking and overlapping with Davies below, these “speedy ghosts” will penetrate the White Vultures’ left flank, making it the most scary explosive point set to overwhelm any European defense.
