Barcola achieved the feat in Liverpool's 2-0 win at Ipswich, where he replaced Victor Munoz in the 64th minute. The French winger clocked up a top speed of 35.9km/h, the fastest speed recorded this season, according to FotMob. This impressive display has left Liverpool fans optimistic about the winger's potential to become a greater threat to opposition defences.
Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola was pleased with Barcola's 31-minute display and expects the winger to become a greater threat to opposition defences. Barcola is in line to make his first start for the Reds in Wednesday's Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid at Anfield. However, he will face stiff competition from Cody Gakpo, who laid down a marker in the win at Portman Road, providing assists for both goals.
