Before we even begin with Eden Hazard in white jersey, let us all take a moment to recall what the Belgian was like in the blue jersey.

Eden Hazard from Chelsea was a ruthless and lethal dribbler who weaved past multiple defenders just for fun. The Belgian captain maintained a reputation for being one of the best dribblers within the Premier League until he left England for Spain.

The same is also one of the biggest reasons why Los Galacticos splashed money to grab Hazard. Unfortunately, as of now, Eden Hazard is far behind his Chelsea self, but given his prowess, it is only a matter of time before we start seeing Hazard presenting La Liga defenders with a nightmare.


#2 Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona)

Barcelona have made a marquee signing in Frenkie de Jong after the latter had a dream run in the 2018-19 Champions League season with Ajax. That year's Ajax squad was brimming with talented youngsters and Frenkie de Jong certainly stood out. Thanks to his attacking mindedness.

After losing a dangerous dribbler in the form of Lionel Messi, Frenkie de Jong is the club's go-to option as of now. The Dutchman has had a dribble success rate close to 94% so far this season and it can be expected of him to maintain the rate throughout the year.

However, Barcelona fans will be hoping that a massive responsibility at such a young age won't affect their number 10's performances.


#1 Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid)

Vinicius Jr.'s case is a tricky one out here. Until last year, the Brazilian prodigy was criticized for his dribbling. Now he is earning praise for the same. What changed within just a few months?

Vinicius' positive development could be accredited to the club's new coach Carlo Ancelotti. Under Zidane, Vincius Jr. was great at ball control and dribbling but under the Italian manager, Vini has also started converting his chances.

The 21-year-old has helped Real Madrid maintain their tradition by being a lethal winger with superior dribbling skills down the flanks. He is walking the same path as the club's former players Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria, among others.

Out of 6 games played so far, Vinicius has averaged 3.3 successful dribbles per match. However, his success rate being close to 50% shows the Brazilian never shies away from exploiting a gap left by opposition defenders.
