The data for LaLiga players with the most successful dribbles this current campaign has been released and surprisingly its Thomas Partey, Atlético's midfielder, who has emerged the winner.

The Ghanaian even surpasses Lionel Messi, who is fourth, just below Frenkie De Jong.

The name of the player who has beaten the Argentine in this section of his own is surprising, since it is not a creative midfielder or a striker.

The footballer who has dribbled the most successfully is none other than Thomas Partey, defensive midfielder of Atlético de Madrid.

The Ghanaian has completed 81.8% of successful spills this course with the red and white elastic, while Messi has reached 'only' up to 67.3%.

Despite having already turned 32 and having lost top speed, Leo Messi is still one of the best dribblers in the world.

The Argentine can still unbalance games since his overflow and continues to be a constant threat to the rival team.

The '10' never hides and whenever possible he tries as much as to change the complexion of games with his superior talents.

Perhaps that habit of trying one-on-one every time he has a choice is what has made him 'lose' in a stat that he has always dominated.

Opta  has compiled the statistics of the best dribblers in LaLiga (who made more than 50) and the Barcelona captain is not in the top three. Rosario's has to settle for being the fourth footballer who has successfully dribbled the most this season in Spanish competition.

It is necessary to make this nuance with respect to the overflows, since what is measured is the percentage of success and not the total, where the Catalan player would continue to dominate.

The Ghana international has been one of the key players for Cholo Simeone's Atleti and is in charge of getting the ball played from behind.

His ability to break pressure lines from the beginning of the play is what leads him to lead this curious classification.

The African masters the art of short dribbling and oriented controls and often leaves many rivals on the road when the ball burns the most. The mix of physique and talent that combines the midfielder make him a dominant player in his own.

Just behind the mattress is another medium with characteristics similar to that of André-Frank Zambo-Anguissa.

The Cameroonian reaches 81.1%, very, very close to Thomas, and ahead of Frenkie de Jong, who takes the bronze with a very worthy 74.5%.

The Villarreal man also has a lot of individual quality and usually takes advantage of his mix of talent and physique to leave rivals behind through dribbling. Behind them and Messi is Ever Banega, who with 66.1% closes this 'top 5'.
