Kylian Mbappe has claimed the top spot for successful dribbles across Europe's elite leagues at the start of the 2026/27 season. The Real Madrid forward has dazzled with 22 successful take-ons, leaving behind Barcelona's Lamine Yamal.
The 19-year-old winger, who finished last season as the leader of this category with an impressive 133 successful dribbles, currently holds second place with 19 successful take-ons. Rounding off the top three is fellow Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham, with 14 successful attempts.
The top ten for successful dribbles stands as follows:
- Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) — 22
- Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) — 19
- Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) — 14
- Gessim Yassin (Strasbourg) — 14
- Georgy Kvernadze (Frosinone) — 13
- Nicolas Pepe (Villarreal) — 13
- David Larrubia (Malaga) — 13
- Carlos Puga (Malaga) — 12
- Miguel Sierra (Sevilla) — 11
- Edu Expósito (Espanyol) — 11.
When dribbles are equal, the player with the higher success rate takes precedence.
Mbappe has seen a significant improvement in this area compared to last season, where he concluded the campaign in sixth place among the top dribblers in Europe’s big five leagues.
Interestingly, Lamine Yamal reigned supreme in the 2025/26 season, boasting 133 successful take-ons from 262 attempts.
Notably, there are no representatives from the Premier League in this elite list.
