There are many aspects to the game of football, one of which is dribbling. If you look back into the history of football, you will discover that many of the most successful and the best football players of all time were also amongst the best dribblers.
A player moving past opponents like they never existed is one of the best things a football fan can witness. Remember the Lionel Messi goal against Bayern, where he confused Boateng with quick feet, made him fall and scored a wonderful goal.
Dribbling is a form of art of which not many are artists. The ability to make the ball feel and look like a part of you is something that only a few players in the world have.
Let's look at some of the top dribbles in the world based on the current form.
Honourable Mentions: Leroy Sane, David Silva, Anthony Martial, and Wilfried Zaha.

#5 Jadon Sancho - Borussia Dortmund
At just 18 years of age, Sancho is currently one of the best young players in the world. After spells at both Watford and Manchester City as a youth player, he established himself as a regular first team player in his second season and won the Bundesliga Player of the Month for October 2018.
Sancho became the youngest-ever player to score eight goals in a single Bundesliga season. He has been amazing this season having assisted 11 goals.
The reason why he is included is because of his amazing dribbling talent. He is very good with the ball under his feet and is adept at making plays as well. He completes a successful dribble every 24th minute on the pitch. Sancho surely has the talent and skill to be one of the best players in the world soon.
#4 Ousmane Dembele - Barcelona
Watched the Copa El Clasico? If you have, you will surely remember what Dembele did to Carvajal. The winger produced a series of stepovers at the Bernabeu to leave Carvajal on the floor as Barca progressed to the Copa del Rey final for the sixth year in succession.
Dembele is just 21 years old and has shown the world that he can be one of the greatest players if he is able to show consistency. Dembele began his career at Rennes before joining Dortmund in 2016. But after the transfer of Neymar, he moved to Barcelona with a hefty price tag.
He was also the part of France's world cup winning squad. His pace and dribbles have made him a superstar at Barcelona. He is surely the unsung hero of the Catalan team.
He can play with both of his feet incredibly well and that's the reason why he is so unpredictable. He has made defenders fall whenever he is in the mood. The way he humiliates defenders is absolutely amazing to watch.
Some of you might argue with him on the list, but he has managed to complete successful dribble in every 21.7 minutes he plays.
#3 Eden Hazard - Chelsea
Remember the world cup quarter-final, Belgium vs Brazil? It was definitely one of the best performances of Hazard. He attempted 10 takedowns, and, guess what, he completed all 10. Unreal. What's more, it's the most dribbles attempted by a player with a 100% success rate in a World Cup fixture since 1966.
In June 2012 Hazard signed for English club Chelsea, and he has been a key member of the squad since.
At the 2018 FIFA World Cup, he captained Belgium to third place which was their best finish in history, receiving the Silver Ball as the second best player of the tournament.
Surely, the best dribbler in the Premier League dribbler, he has been exceptional and the way he goes past defenders is amazing. He has been in the top form and is one of the best players in the world. He averages a successful dribble every 21 minutes he plays.
#2 Neymar - Paris Saint-Germain
The most expensive player in the world, Neymar has no doubt been amazing throughout his career. He is one of the best players in the world just after Messi and Ronaldo.
Neymar's ability to make a fool of defenders is extraordinary to watch. The way he dribbles, it looks like the ball is part of his body and no one can take it away from him. He has proved himself at Barcelona and is continuing to be unstoppable after the record transfer to PSG.
PSG’s superstar is the current supreme exhibitor of the art of showboat. He’s known for his magic on the ball and he’s probably the world's best player when it comes to taking on a single player.
He is currently suffering from an injury and has been out for more than a month now.
#1 Lionel Messi - Barcelona
Watched Lionel Messi's goal against Getafe? I am sure you have, it doesn't matter you are a Barcelona fan or not, you would definitely love that goal. He dribbled past almost everyone and then scored a wonderful goal.
The little magician from Argentina is the currently best dribbler in the world. He’s is also considered among the best football dribblers of all time because of his ability to get past a player with ease. He just needs one or two touches to get past a player. Messi’s movement of the ball and his change of pace is second to none and he has the ability to dribble and find space in the most congested of areas.
The five-time Balon d'Or winner is currently on top of everything, whether you look at the number of goals, assists, free-kicks or anything else. He is surely the greatest player on the planet. He also has the best ratio for successful dribbles per minute as he averages a successful dribble every 19.2 minutes.
