#4 Diego Godin (Atletico Madrid)
Although Barcelona are currently atop the Spanish league table, Atletico Madrid definitely are the best defensive team in La Liga this season. They have conceded just 17 times in 26 league games this season, while Barcelona and Real Madrid have let in 25 and 31 goals respectively. The reason behind Atletico's solid defence is the Uruguayan wall named Diego Godin.
The club captain has been marshalling Atletico's backline for years now and despite being 33 years old, the defender's form has not dipped one bit. Godin is also a handful in the opposition's penalty area, with the centre-back scoring 3 goals in the ongoing campaign.
Godin might just be the reason why Lionel Messi led FC Barcelona will not run away with the title this season as Atletico Madrid are more than capable of bridging the seven-point gap between them and the Catalan giants by the end of the season.
