 Arsenal’s Wall of Steel: Why No Team in Europe Can Match Their Defence This Season

Arsenal’s defence is dominating Europe in the 2025 season  just 3 goals conceded in 12 games! Here’s how Arteta’s men built the best defensive record across Europe’s top leagues

Arsenal are setting a new standard for defensive excellence in European football this season and the stats don’t lie.

According to Transfermarkt, the Gunners have conceded only 3 goals in 12 matches across all competitions. That’s an incredible average of 0.25 goals per game, making them the best defensive side in Europe’s top five leagues right now.

This record was strengthened further after Mikel Arteta’s men completely outclassed Atletico Madrid with a 4-0 victory in the Champions League last night a game that showed their dominance at both ends of the pitch.
