Surprise Real Madrid star is Europe’s best dribbler over last 2 seasons | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic, highlighting the ongoing excellence of a leading member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid when in possession has on Tuesday come to the fore online.

The player in question? Jude Bellingham.

England international Bellingham is of course fresh off nothing short of a wonderful debut campaign in Spain, with Real Madrid.

The 21-year-old showcased a complete repertoire of midfield excellence, shining in all aspects of the game.

It was Bellingham’s production in the final third which, for the most part, grabbed the headlines, his 36 goal contributions across 42 appearances having proven central to Los Blancos’ eventual domestic and European double.

And yet, it is another element of the youngster’s game which has this week been highlighted as the very best on the continent.

As revealed by WhoScored:

‘Of the 40 players in Europe’s top five leagues to attempt 200+ dribbles over the past two seasons, Jude Bellingham has the best completion rate.’

A kick in the teeth for those who continue to attempt to discredit Bellingham’s unquestionable brilliance…
