#4 Successful Dribbles per game
There is no debate that Lionel Messi is the best dribbler in the world right now. The way the ball hugs his left boot almost gives the impression that it is a part of his body. Like an obedient pupil, the ball listens to every command of its master and obeys it to perfection. The stadium goes into a silence of anticipation every time the Argentine has the ball, as do the millions of viewers across the world. It is a mark of his abilities, the respect he demands, the hopes he builds in the hearts of his fans and the panic he instils in the minds and bodies of the opposition.
For a man who has come 5th in the Ballon d'Or rankings, Messi's successful dribbles per game has been quite impressive so far. The Argentine is averaging 4.2 successful dribbles per game in La Liga, and only Neymar has registered more - 4.3 per game - than Messi this season.
The fact that Messi has continued to mesmerize with his ball skills this strengthens his stand as the Best Player in the World right now. Still not convinced? Prepare to get awestruck as we plunge into the business end of this article.
