Barcelona wonderkid dominates La Liga dribbling stats, leaving Mbappé and Vinicius far behind | OneFootball

Despite being only 17 years of age, the FC Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal has been dazzling the world with his incredible footballing talent for the last two years.

After having become a regular first-team player last season, the youngster continues to be a key part of Hansi Flick’s team, as he brings the ability to destabilize opposition defenses with his dribbling, speed, and creativity.

In fact, Mundo Deportivo reports that the Spanish youngster is the best player in La Liga in terms of dribbles completed this season. The Blaugrana star has completed 94 dribbles so far this season, a number significantly higher than the second-placed player in La Liga in this regard, Dodi Lukebakio, who has completed 70 dribbles.

The Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe stands third in this regard with 64 completed dribbles, while Vinicius Junior stands fourth, as his number stands at 61.

However, the Barcelona star has played fewer minutes than the second and third-placed players in this ranking. He has played only 1975 minutes, as compared to 2351 minutes of Lukebakio and 2251 minutes of Mbappe.

On average, Yamal completed 4.2 dribbles in every game with a 55% success rate. Similarly, he also wins 7.5 duels when facing his opponents, and these opponents usually have to resort to tackles to stop him, which results in the Spaniard receiving 2 fouls every game on average.
