The Columbian is not very well known in the football circuit, but still is the second fastest player in the world right now. Berrio has a top speed of 36 kph, which sees him edge past quite a few big names to become the joint second fastest footballer in the world this season.
Berrio has been riddled with injuries since moving to Brazilian side Flamengo in the Serie A from Atletico National in 2017. This season too, Berrio has faced severe injuries that have limited his game time. But when fit, he still is one of the fastest players in the world.
The 28-year-old has great ball control and likes dribbling. He is a menace with the ball at his feet and combines trickery with pace to beat his markers and advance. Once ahead, his speed ensures that it is very hard to get a hold of him.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written over 8500 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
