the best defense in Europe

Guess who conceded the least goals

BMG?

In the BL it's BMG. BTW, they currently lead 2:0 against Schalke in the 25th minute (goals: Reus, Hanke).

BMG

I think Partizan Belgrade has conceeded 6 goals this season or something stupidly low.

its BMG in europe

BTW, I just checked - Barcelona got 13 goals so far. Borussia M'gladbach only got 12 so far. Marc-André ter Stegen FTW! Oh, and Juve has 13, too. Gigi Buffon <3

1st is BMG with 12 then Barcelona and Juventus tied on 13.

It will be most interesting to see this after the full league run. The numbers are taken from kicker.de, btw. If two teams have the same number of goals against, I listed the team that played more matches first, with equal matches alphabetically.

If someone wants to do a quotient goals/matches, please feel free to do so. I think I might do that when the leagues are done for the season, but not while the numbers change all the time.

Partizan Belgrad has conceded 5 goals so far.

Well, I mainly added the teams of the leagues listed here on top in the menu plus Netherlands and Scotland: http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/intligen/startseite.html

I was a bit too lazy to dig out each and every of the less fashionable leagues, I'm afraid.

Also some leagues, like the Scottish league, aren't really that interesting, stats-wise.

Well, I ponder about calculating the numbers for the last season (first three of each league or so plus some noteworthy exceptions when the numbers ask for it) with a proper quotient to do away with the number of matches played. Well, but for that I'll only use the above list in the kicker.de menu

Goals conceded per match played, how about that as a quotient?

BMG the club of the season tbh

So, here's the data for Spain, England, Germany, Italy and France in 2010/11 after the completion of the season in goals/match:

Partizan Belgrade, best club in the world.
