The Ligue 1 side are the only team in the top European league to win all their league games so far this season. PSG have won all 14 games played in the Ligue 1 so far this season, which has seen them stay at the top of the table with an astonishing 42 points.

While their brilliant strike force will be taking all the credit, one should not forget that PSG have conceded just 7 goals in those 14 games and as such, their success is built on a stellar defence.

In the Champions League, though, the defence has let in the same amount of goals in 4 games, as they have not managed a clean sheet yet in the tournament. Altogether, PSG has conceded 14 goals in 19 games in all competitions, which sees them edge out Valencia by a thin margin to become the 4th best defence in Europe right now.

The arrival of Buffon has helped the Ligue 1 Champions and the centre-back pairing of Marquinhos and Thiago Silva has been rock solid for most parts. PSG conceded just 29 goals from 38 games in Ligue 1 last season. By the look of things, the French side could even better that tally this season.
