Top dribblers in the world: French star leads, strong Brazilian presence 🌍 | OneFootball

The CIES Football Observatory (Football Observatory, in free translation) has updated the ranking of the best dribblers in the world.

Led by the Frenchman Michael Olise, a standout at Bayern Munich, the list has a strong presence of Brazilian football.

Vinícius Júnior, from Real Madrid, came in second place, while the young Estêvão Willian, from Chelsea, holds the sixth position.

The top 20 also includes Antony, currently at Real Betis, in 14th.

Besides them, other Brazilians were mentioned among the top 50 dribblers on the planet: Samuel Lino (Flamengo), Luiz Henrique (Zenit), Pedrinho (Zenit), Erick Pulga (Bahia), Ademir (Bahia), Wanderson (Cruzeiro), and Ferreirinha (São Paulo).

The CIES survey considers performance data in individual plays – such as successful dribbles, opponent imbalance, and offensive impact – in national leagues and international competitions.
