It is strange not to see Iñaki Williams in one of the first positions in any ranking related to speed. It is his hallmark and rival defenses fear him when the bike starts. But the striker of the Athletic does not appear in the ‘top ten’ of footballers who have achieved the highest top speed during the League. It is true that he stays at the gates, occupies the eleventh place, and that the differences between the elite sprinters are minimal.
Williams It reached its maximum speed peak in one of the last days of the season, precisely when the forces were fairer. The man from Bilbao reached 34.99 kilometers per hour during the visit to the I raised (1-2), the last league victory for Athletic.

It reached 35.72 km / h on the 31st day, on the visit of the Majorca to the Say Stéfano to measure himself with the Real Madrid. He is escorted on the podium by a Portuguese tandem. Hernani, of the I raised, reached 35.38 km / h and Semedo, of the Barcelona, had its peak at 35.16 km / h.
