The club has been renowned in recent years for our wide attacking style, and LALIGA, who have published data on the number of dribbles successfully completed so far this season, underline how that is just as true now more than ever. Chidera Ejuke leads the ranking with 28 successful dribbles. He is followed by Lamine Yamal with 26, Kylian Mbappé with 23 and Vinicius Jr with 20. The latter has the same tally as Dodi Lukébakio, who is one of the most influential players in the championship. The Belgian surpasses Alberto Moleiro's 19 successful dribbles.
This consolidates their status as our deadliest duo. In fact, the two Sevilla wingers have a combined total of 48 successful dribbles, making them perhaps the most effective partnership in the whole league.

This dynamic places us as the second-best team at overcoming the opposition’s defensive line, just another LaLiga metric that demonstrates the constant danger posed by Xavi García Pimienta's attack, especially on the flanks.
But there is more. As well as the ability to dribble past opponents... we are proving more and more effective at what matters most: finishing. And this is where Dodi Lukébakio pops up as the player who has taken the most shots after driving past defenders across Europe's big five leagues, beating the leading attackers at Napoli, Real Madrid, PSG, Milan and Monaco.

These figures confirm the good form of our two attackers at this moment, which has proved decisive for us at times so far this season. Both are emerging as leaders in an attacking line being crafted by García Pimienta.
