The football game has many aspects one of it is dribbling.
Many great players can dribble very well but this list is about "The best dribbler ever".
These are these players who can decide a match with just one action they are the players who mastered dribbling the best and had the ability to beat defenders any time.

1. DIEGO MARADONA

Maradona is arguably the best dribbler ever, just watch one of his videos and you will see why whole teams had to mark him. Maradona could get past defenders easily, he would use body feints to fool a defender into believing exactly the opposite of what he was actually going to do. He would suddenly change direction when the defender was expecting him to go the other way, it is this style of dribbling he used which is called "Gambetta".

One example of this is his second goal against England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final where he would get the ball and beat five England defenders before scoring a goal. Maradona would later say in one of his interviews "In that game no one could have stopped me, not even Mike Tyson".

10. Ultras SSC Napoli:
Ultras Napoli against Manchester City.
They make sure to fill up the Stadio San Paolo whenever they can. They made it hell for Manchester City last week, and their pyro show isn’t bad either. However there is an ugly side to this support as post games, there have been stabbings of other supporters and such violent activities. Against Bayern Munich, they threw flares into the German’s section while against Manchester City, a 19 year old City fan was slapped.
