The speed of the fastest player is greatly exaggerated, about 10 km/h above the real speed. The fastest soccer players achieve speeds of no more than ~31 km/h over longer distances (more than 20 meters) and a top speed of ~37 km/h. The 40 km/h figure mentioned here is unachievable: consider that Usain Bolt (wearing hemp and running on a tartan track!) When setting his world record, reached an average speed average below 37.5 km/h (and temporary peak speed ~44 km/h). Besides, 75 meters in 9.12 seconds (as shown in the video) results in a speed of 29.5 km/h.
It was spread online that CR jumped 2.93 meters to head in the Real Madrid – ManU ChL match in 2013. This is false and god knows how this rumor started to spread (trick. bluff? Urban legend?). Analyzing the video, if his jump was really high as claimed, the defender next to him (Patrice Evra) would have to be about 2.15m tall, but he’s only 1.74m tall – this jump about 2.55m high. CR’s officially confirmed highest jump is 2.56 meters, where he also achieved a vertical jump of 71 cm, but he is no longer the record holder. In 2015 Bevis Mugabi jumped 2.62 m (75 cm leap), in early 2021 Fikayo Tomori jumped 2.63 m. In October 2021, Levi Garcia jumped even higher, 2.70 m with a jump of 88 cm, which is the actual world record.
