Who has the best defense across Europe? Lets find out shall we.
This was written on Friday
Shot Creating Actions (SCA) vs top teams across Europe.
-Vs city, 170 SCA
-Vs Leverkusen, 176 allowed.
-Vs Bayern, 178.
-Vs Arsenal, 183 allowed.
Arsenal isn’t just the best or one of the best defensive team in the PL, but in the world. This will be proven the further we go.
Goal Creating Actions (GCA) allowed.
Juventus allowed only 12 GCA, inter 13, Leverkusen 14, Arsenal 14.
Clearly, Arsenal is to be considered the superior defensive team here, because the context shows that the quality of attackers in the league of the teams ranked slightly ahead or tied, aren’t as potent as those that Arsenal have gone up against.
Take-Ons That Leads To Shot Attempt:
When in comes to a defense getting dribbled past that leads to a shot from the opponent, Leverkusen have only been beaten 4 times off the dribble that leads to a shot, Atletico only 7 in such case, Arsenal 3rd in the table with 8.
Again, does Leverkusen and Atletico goes up against better attacking players every weekend than what Arsenal face? I highly doubt it. What makes this even more impressive, is that Arsenal play the highest line out of those 3 teams.
If we are talking about conceding goal scoring chances from Live-Ball passes from the opponent, Leverkusen, Juventus, and Arsenal, have conceded only 5, 6 and 7 goal scoring chances from the opponent respectively.
Goals Conceded:
Nice have conceded 4 goals but again, context shows that L1 quality of attackers aren’ that good, because there’s no way Nice is the best defensive team across Europe
10 goals scored vs Arsenal, 10 vs Liverpool, 10 vs Leverkusen, 9 vs Bayern, 8 vs Real M, 7 vs Atletico.
There was a penalty given against Arsenal vs chelsea, that should not have been given, and in the same game, a complete fluke goal by Mudryk. So really, Arsenal can even be considered to have conceded only 8 goals for argument sake.
Overall though, it’s fair to suggest that Arsenal is currently the best defensive team in the world

If you’re going to use stats, just stick to the stats.
Don’t try to argue why for each one we’re actually the best for xyz reason, because for each of those it’s easy to come up with arguments against as well.
Your goals conceded are out of date. 11 for us now but 14 for Liverpool.
lol another victim of the EPL is the only league with good teams and players. How many times do English teams have to be beaten by teams from other leagues to understand that the margins are super thin across the top leagues and professional football in general? Last year, one of our best seasons ever, we lost to teams outside of the top 5 leagues. And English teams lose to other European teams every season. I’m not saying that the EPL is not the best league on the balance but the margins are razor sharp. The analysis here is actually disrespectful
