Lionel Messi is the best dribbler since Opta began tracking the stat in 2006, and it’s not particularly close. The Argentine star has completed 1,880 dribbles for Barcelona in that time, 660 more than his next competitor, Eden Hazard has for Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Lille.
Franck Ribéry comes next with 939, followed by Sergio Agüero with 832 and Cristiano Ronaldo with 816. Former Barcelona players Andrés Iniesta (8th place, 739) and Neymar (10th place, 734) are also on the list.
Messi’s dominance in the stat is stark.
