Only Mbappe tops Uche in unwanted LaLiga stat as injured Ejuke drops to third in top dribblers list

Only new Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe has been caught in more offside position in the 2024/25 LaLiga than unheralded Nigerian, Chrisantus Uche of Getafe FC.

Mbappe has been flagged offside 18 times after 13 matchdays in the LaLiga, eight more than Uche who has been a revelation after moving from a lower league side to command regular shirt in only his first season in the Spanish topflight.

Uche has started 12 of the 13 games played in the competition before the November international break and has played 999 minutes of LaLiga, the most by a Nigerian so far in the competition.

Meanwhile, injured Chidera Ejuke has expectedly dropped as the top dribbler in the LaLiga season after missing the last three games in the competition due to the hamstring injury he suffered in his club, Sevilla’s 5-1 demolition at the Olímpic Lluís Companys by Barcelona

The Nigerian has now dropped to joint with Kylian Mbappe with 31 successful dribbles while Barcelona wonder boy, Lamine Yamal who is also injured leads with 34 with Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jnr, second with 33.
