1st & 3rd: Real Madrid stars dominating La Liga chance creation | OneFootball

A pair of Real Madrid stars sit in the top-3 amongst all La Liga players when it come to chance creation thus far this season.

That’s according to StatMuse, who point towards Arda Güler and Vinícius Jr. as the pair in question.

Real Madrid are of course fresh off securing their place back atop the Spanish top-flight table.

Across eight outings in league play across the season to date, Los Blancos have racked up victories in all but one.

A new more intense pressing system employed by Xabi Alonso has proved central to this success. So too, though, has individual brilliance on the part of several leading players.

Two such Real stars come in the form of the aforementioned Arda and Vinícius.

The former has taken massive steps forward when it comes to performance and playing time alike, with his efforts in the final third of the highest standard.

Wide-man Vinícius, meanwhile, despite ongoing criticism, has in flashes continued to showcase his unquestionable brilliance.

And as alluded to above, this week, such endeavours have given rise to a head-turning statistic.

As per StatMuse, Arda (3.50) and Vinícius (3.04) sit 1st and 3rd amongst all La Liga players in chance creation per 90 this season:
