The report highlights the significant difference in distance covered by Premier League teams compared to their European counterparts. Even the least fit Premier League team runs more than the fittest teams in Spain, Italy, and Germany. Liverpool, the team that covers the least distance, still manages 110.3 kilometres per match. In contrast, the top kilometre-runners in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Serie A cover significantly less ground, with Celta de Vigo, Monza, and Hoffenheim covering 107.1, 103.5, and 109.6 kilometres per match respectively. Voetbal International's findings suggest that Premier League teams are more physically demanding than their European counterparts.
