The addition of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Juventus set up was supposed to open the floodgate of goals this season for the Serie A side. While Juventus has been fabulous in the final third as usual, the defence has been quietly shutting out the opposition on a regular basis.

Juventus have scored 28 goals in 13 games in Serie A, but have conceded just 8. In the Champions League, the Italian side was about to register the 4th clean sheet of the tournament, before a late onslaught from Manchester United ruined their party. Those were the only two goals they have conceded in the Champions League.

In the Serie A, they have 6 clean sheets and it has been the combination of the two magnificent Italian defenders Chiellini and Bonucci, that has helped Juventus stand out as the club with the second meanest defence in Europe right now.

They have been ably supported by Wojciech Szczesny in between the bars, who is having a strong season himself. Juventus have let in just 10 goals in 17 games in all competitions this season, which is a fantastic feat, however, there is one club who have been even better than them in Europe so far.
