Vini among top 5 dribblers in Europe

Dribbling in football is a hard nut to crack. It is one of the most difficult skills to master in the sport regarded by many as the "most popular" in the world.

Few things can rival football as a spectator sport, and this is largely born out of the bewitching skillset displayed by the main actors on the pitch.

The Brazilian has completed 75 dribbles in La Liga, more than any other player in the Spanish top tier.

Vinicius displays 'mad' skill

The 2022 UEFA Champions League final match-winner returned to the streets to play with friends as he keeps himself active.

In a video shared on social media, the talented winger displayed why he is one of the most feared players in the world.
