2024 comes to an end entering the week of the last national team break of the year, the third so far this season. With just under the halfway point of the competitions played, it may be an ideal time to analyze the best defensively in the five major leagues, where coincidentally, only one of the five leads the classification.

EA Sports League

In Spain, the team with the least goals scored so far this season is Atlético de Madrid. Cholo Simeone’s team has conceded seven goals in 13 games, which is equivalent to an average of 0.54 goals per game. However, the sensations are very different in the Champions League, where in four games they have conceded nine, a percentage of 2.25 goals per duel.

In the Spanish league, they are in third position with 26 points, behind FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, with 33 and 27 points respectively, Ancelotti’s with one game less. In the European competition, two victories (Leipzig and PSG) and two defeats (Benfica and Lille) place them in the qualifying zone for the round of 32 playoff, but there are still 4 games left to play.

Premier League

In England, the team with the least goals scored so far this season is Liverpool. Arne Slot’s team, who has replaced Klopp in charge, is making a great start to the season with the Reds. In the Premier League they have only conceded six goals in 11 games, which is equivalent to 0.55 goals per game. It is the only team that leads its domestic competition with 28 points, five ahead of Manchester City, current defender of the title.

Their performance in the Premier League is no coincidence, since in the Champions League they are the only team that has achieved full points in four games, conceding only one goal against Milan on the first day. Here it is not the team that has conceded the fewest goals since Inter Milan and Atalanta do not know what it is to collect the ball from their goal this season in the highest European club competition.

Furthermore, it should be noted that their starting goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, has been injured since October 5 in the match against Crystal Palace. His absence is being replaced perfectly by Caoimhín Kelleher, who this season in the three competitions has played eight games, five of them in the Premier League, which together with the good work of Liverpool defensively, the absence of the Brazilian goalkeeper has not been noticeable. .

Series A

In Italy, the team with the least goals scored in Serie A, which will be one of the most even in recent years, is Juventus, with seven goals in 12 games, which is equivalent to 0.56 goals per game. The first six classified are in a difference of two points, Napoli leader with 26 and the ‘bianconeri’ sixth with 24. With Thiago Motta on the bench, those from Turin have been characterized by defensive solidity, something that was only diminished in the visit to Inter Milan, where they received 4 goals, two of them from 11 meters. Key to this defensive decline is the injury of Gleison Bremer, who since his injury against Lepizig in the Champions League, has received all the goals in the league championship.

In the Champions League, they have conceded two fewer goals than in Serie A, but in just four games. This competition is where they have suffered the only defeat with Thiago Motta on the bench, 0-1 against Stuttgart, after El Bilal Touré’s goal in the final moments. With seven points out of 12, they have an intact chance of being among the top eight, and practically guaranteed the round of 32 playoff.

Bundesliga

In Germany, RB Leipzig is the team that has conceded the fewest goals with five in 10 games, which is equivalent to 0.5 per game. Until two days ago, they shared the lead with Bayern Munich, but the defeat and draw against Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Monchengladbach have left a gap of five points in favor of the Bavarians.

In the Champions League, they are one of the worst teams in the competition, but not because of their own merits but because of the bad luck they have had in the final moments of the matches and throughout the competition. Atlético in the 90th minute and Juventus in the 82nd minute have deprived them of points in two games, together with the defeat against Liverpool and Celtic, where the Scots came back against them, leaving them with 0 points in four games.

Ligue 1

In France, the team with the least goals scored in Ligue 1 is Monaco. Adi Hütter’s team has conceded eight goals in 11 games, which is equivalent to 0.8 per game. Despite the fact that they had two consecutive defeats against Nice and Angers that made them detach themselves from the co-leadership that they shared with PSG, now with 29 points and the Monegasques with 23. This weekend they returned to the path of victory against Strasbourg (1- 3) and they are a strong candidate to fight Luis Enrique’s team for the championship.

In the Champions League they are one of the revelation teams, with 10 of 12 points achieved, with a victory against FC Barcelona included. In the four games, they have conceded four goals, one per game, having a chance to be in the next phase despite having a complicated schedule (Benfica, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Inter Milan). Still, they are almost guaranteed a round of 32 playoff. The other day in the victory against Bologna, at 23 years old, Singo gave an exhibition winning all the duels against Dallinga and Castro. Furthermore, against Red Star he scored a great goal that put Monaco in the balance.

In the world of football it is said that “the best defense is a good attack”, but in the five major leagues it seems that only Liverpool is the one that represents this football event. Arne Slot’s team is the only team that leads its domestic competition, along with the Champions League where the other four teams with the fewest goals are participating (Atlético de Madrid, RB Leipzig, Juventus and Monaco).
