Check out Optajean top five:
10.7 – Tops dribbles tentés (& réussis) par match dans les 5 grands championnats européens cette saison (min. 5 matches) :
Neymar – 10.7 (6)
Youcef Atal – 8.9 (3.6)
Wilfried Zaha – 8.8 (4.7)
Lionel Messi – 8 (5.4)
Allan Saint-Maximin – 7.7 (4.4)
Neymar really deserves the spot, besides Lionel Messi, he’s arguably the most creative player one could ever think of. He just need to focus on the business aspect of the game to be rated as the best in the world.
