If last year he rivaled Messi, this season he is facing Vinicius. Javi Galán occupied the second drawer in the LaLiga dribbling ranking last year and this campaign is trying to get the gold medal. Messi swept last season with 247 dribbles and the only one who was less than one hundred was Badajoz (151), while third place went to Bryan Gil (121).
Interestingly, the first and third dribblers of the last championship no longer compete in LaLiga. The Argentine went to PSG and the Andalusian went to the Premier (Tottenham). Javi Galán also changed teams this summer, left Huesca to sign for Celta, but is still in LaLiga. In his first appearance as a Celtic, he already recognized his ambition to replace Messi.
For now, in the seven days that have elapsed, Celta's left-back already occupies podium positions. Specifically, right now He is the third dribbler in LaLiga, with 29 dribbles. Ahead is Fekir (41) and Vinicius (44). The Brazilian from Real Madrid is emerging as the great stumbling block to assault the first place.
If we stick only to the Satisfactory dribbles, the leader is Betic Fekir (25), while Galán and Vinicius are tied for second place, with 22 good dribbles. There is still a lot of LaLiga left, but these three players are beginning to gain an advantage over the rest. The battle promises to be exciting.
