#3 Atletico Madrid has the best defensive record in Europe’s top five leagues

If there is one team that can stop Messi & Co., it is definitely Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid. Simeone’s side is producing some stunning defensive displays in La Liga at the moment.
After 26 La Liga games this campaign, Atletico Madrid has allowed the opponents to score only on 11 occasions. No team in Europe’s top five leagues has conceded fewer goals than Atletico Madrid in the 2017-18 season.
The centre-back partnership of Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin has been in superb form, supported by Filipe Luis, Juanfran, Thomas and Saul Niguez. Jan Oblak deserves a special mention here for his heroics. The Slovenian is one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment and is having another stunning season with Atletico Madrid.
