Long hair Messi in 06/07 and 07/08 averaged 7.1 and 8.4 completed dribbles per 90. Holy sh!t. Even in his last season at 35, he still averaged like near 4 successful dribbles per game.To contextualize, Messi in 14/15 was averaging 10+ dribbles a game across a CL campaign where we played PSG x 4, City x 2, Bayern x 2 and Juve x 1
Not taking anything away from how amazing Lamine is but damn, the GOAT was a menace
But Messi from very beginning was extremely high volume dribbler.
Yamal has attempted much more this season compared to last season and Euro. He plays more like a protagonist now.
