For comparison: Usain Bolt set his 100m world record at the 2009 World Championships with 44.72 km/h. It is therefore an exceptional achievement.
During the Champions League he left attackers like Mykhailo Mudryk (Chelsea) and Ousmane Dembélé (FC Barcelona) well behind with a top speed of 36.6 km/h.
Davies featured in nine of Bayern’s ten games in the competition. The German club lost in the quarter-finals to Manchester City, who eventually lifted the big-eared trophy.
