Inaki Williams has silently beaten Cristiano Ronaldo!

The first name of every ‘fittest soccer players’ list will shock you. Sadly, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi does not rank first on that list. Atletico Madrid’s Inaki Williams ranks first on this list. The Ghanaian winger had a record going strong right up till yesterday. Williams had played 251 consecutive La Liga games. The pacey Ghanian had not missed starting a game in La Liga since 2016.

Cristiano Ronaldo is an obvious mention on this list. The Portuguese soccer legend might not be the quickest anymore but still seems like the strongest player of this generation. Lionel Messi is up there with Ronaldo in terms of fitness. However, the Argentine reportedly considers working on his pace that would suit his natural game. Other players like James Milner, Leon Goretzka, and Mohamed Salah are a few other regular names on these lists.
