Lionel Messi stats prove he’s the best despite poor season
Most dribbles completed (159)
Messi is perhaps best known not for his scoring abilities but for his tremendous ball control and the ability to dribble past top defenders with absolute ease. While it is true that at the age of 33, he has slowed down considerably, but he still manages to top the list when it comes to the most successful dribbles. The Argentine completed 159 of 261 dribbles that he attempted and he would have completed even more had it not been for the number of fouls made on him. It can safely be said that Messi is the most talented footballer in La Liga and his dribbling skill is second to none. In Fact, he may be too good as the second position, filled in by Javi Galan, who only completed 121 successful dribbles.
