Barça's Ousmane Dembele or Madrid's Vinicius Jr: Who is better?
The two forwards are both important to their respective teams from wide positions
Ousmane Dembele's spectacular performance against Athletic Club placed him above the level of Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. in reference to LaLiga.
Vinicius has rightfully earned a lot of praise for his performances this season. He has participated in eight of Madrid's 28 goals in domestic competitions, scoring five goals and creating three more in the 961 minutes he has played across 11 games.
Dembele has the same amount of goal contributions (eight) in fewer minutes (672). The Frenchman has scored three and set up five of the 28 goals Barça have scored, which is the same amount as Madrid.
Dembele has the most assists in the Spanish league in the calendar year of 2022 and is third in all of Europe. Xavi has managed to help him find his best form and his number places him among the best on the continent.
Lionel Messi leads the assist ranking in 2022 with 19. Second is Kevin de Bruyne with 16 and then comes Dembele with 15.
