Soccer is a team sport, in which there is constant movement of the ball between players. However, the best players depend not only on passing to create chances, but also on their ability to carry the ball themselves . Dribbling is an essential skill, particularly for players in offensive positions. That is why here we present the best dribblers in the League, according to the CIES Football observatory. The statistics taken range from the start of the 2020 season to January 11, 2021 .

Lionel Messi

It is no secret to anyone that Messi is one of the best dribblers of all time. However, the idea that he continues to do so at this level at this point in his career is truly impressive. According to CIES, Messi has a 59.2% success rate on his dribble. Good ball control has always been a lethal weapon for the Argentine, who uses it to create scoring opportunities with a frequency that is unmatched worldwide.
