New year, same Old Lady. According to UEFA rankings published this week, Juventus remain the team to beat as far as defending in concerned.

The governing body's rating system which orders teams by the average number of goals conceded per game since the turn of 2017 puts Massimiliano Allegri's men top of the pile with a tally of 0.41. Bayern Munich (0.44) and Manchester United (0.5) fill the second and third positions.

  1. Juventus, Italy: 0.41 average goals conceded per game (5 goals in 12 games)
  2. Bayern Munich, Germany: 0.44 average goals conceded per game (4 goals in 9 games)
  3. Manchester United, England: 0.50 average goals conceded per game (4 goals in 8 games)
  4. Monaco, France: 0.54 average goals conceded per game (6 goals in 11 games)
    4= Paris Saint-Germain, France: 0.54 average goals conceded per game (6 goals in 11 games)
  5. Everton, England: 0.70 average goals conceded per game (7 goals in 10 games)
  6. AS Roma, Italy: 0.72 average goals conceded per game (8 goals in 11 games)
  7. Saint Étienne, France: 0.72 average goals conceded per game (8 goals in 11 games)
  8. Barcelona, Spain: average goals conceded per game 0.75 (9 goals in 12 games)
  9. Atlético Madrid, Spain: 0.75 average goals conceded per game (9 goals in 12 games)
    9= Villarreal, Spain: 0.75 average goals conceded per game (9 goals in 12 games)

On goals conceded alone meanwhile, Juve would occupy third place (five) behind Bayern and Manchester United, who have let slip just four apiece albeit having played three and four games fewer respectively.
