Better than Vinicius? Super Eagles winger Moses Simon outshines Real Madrid star in key stat
There are few skills in football as crucial as the ability to beat defenders one-on-one.
The best dribblers can change the game in an instant, leaving crowds in awe and defenders scrambling to catch up.
This season, Nantes winger Moses Simon has emerged as one of the most effective dribblers in Europe's top leagues, ranking fourth in dribble completion.
According to MB Football, Simon has completed an impressive 133 successful dribbles, surpassing FIFA Player of the Year Vinícius Jr, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, Kylian Mbappé, and Jamal Musiala.
