One of Messi's best skills is his dribbling, which he's exceptional on since he was a child, so in this entry I will show some of his statistics that show why he is the best dribbler in history.
First of all, let's look at his numbers: He has done 2,522 dribbles since the 2009/10 season, with an efficiency of around 61%, in addition to having done almost 1,000 more dribbles than second place in La Liga in the last decade. He's also the top dribbler in the Champions League since his debut in the 2004/05 season, beating his closest competitor, Ronaldo, by more than 200 dribbles. In total, since the 2009/10 season, he has been the competition's top dribbler in 7 of the last 12 tournaments (counting the current one). He also holds the record for the most dribbles in a single game in La Liga, with 15 against Real Betis in 2007, and that of the Champions League also, albeit tied, with 16 dribbles in a single game against United in the 2007/08 season.

With the national team, he was the top dribbler in the Copa América 2019, 2016 and 2015 (by a difference of 20), in addition to the 2014 World Cup (one of the highest dribbling figures in the history of the World Cups) and 2010. We can see his dominance in in the biggest stages.

Clearly with those numbers you can see how good he is in that attribute, and he is for many the best in history in that sense.
