Barcelona's best dribble attack in the world against Vinicius Jr, CIES data reveals
Xavi Hernandez has paid tribute to Ousmane Dembele since his arrival as Barcelona manager. In fact, he has gone so far as to call him the best in the world in his position.
Working under a coach who always believed in him was a blessing for Dembele's career at the club. The Frenchman quickly overcame a string of injuries and is now one of the team's most important players.
The former Borussia Dortmund man may not be the deadly scoring machine many would expect, but he is responsible for almost every attacking threat the Catalan side creates on the pitch. CIES Stats sheds light on what Xavi sees in the youngster and proves him right.
Football Observatory has named the France international the best dribbler in the world in 2022, ahead of Vinicius Jr, Kevin de Bruyne and Kylian Mbappe. That says a lot about his contributions on the pitch and his ability to win matches.
Part of Dembele's successful dribbling record is due to his lightning speed that allows him to get past defenders. That, along with his quick feet and dexterity with both hands, sets him apart from the competition. The 25-year-old has made 18 appearances for Barcelona this season, scoring five goals and providing five assists. He is averaging 1.2 dribbles per 90 minutes in the league and 2 dribbles per game at UCL this season.
In the 2021/22 La Liga season, Dembele is the player with the most successful dribbles per game with 2.8 dribbles and a completion rate of 66%. Close behind him is Vinicius Jr, who averages 2.7 dribbles per game and a significantly lower success rate of 45D.
