Barcelona v Atletico Madrid - La Liga
Umtiti is making a difference at the Camp Nou.

Over the years, the Catalan side has not been known for their defensive stability. However, things have changed since the arrival of Ernesto Valverde. Barcelona is yet to lose a game this season in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, and have been absolutely brilliant at the back.

With only 13 goals against them in La Liga, they have the second-best defensive record for all teams in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Also, they have the best defensive record in UEFA Champions League this season, having allowed the opponents to score only on 2 occasions.

The emergence of Samuel Umtiti has played a huge part in their defensive solidity. Also, the contribution of Marc-André ter Stegen cannot be ignored. The German international goalkeeper has been superb for Barcelona this season. Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba, and Gerard Pique complete a formidable Barcelona backline.
