The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Hridyam Arora argues that Real Madrid right-back Denzel Dumfries has performed worse than Vinicius Junior this season. Despite registering an assist for Kylian Mbappe in Wednesday's match against AEK Athens, Dumfries struggled defensively and contributed to AEK's second goal. Arora contends that Dumfries has yet to produce a single good performance for the club.
