"Milan statistically have the best defence in Europe, which might come as a shock to some, after only conceding just 20 goals in 28 games (for an average of 0.71 per game). The likes of Arsenal, Roma and Como are also in the top five, but the Rossoneri are leading the way."
"It's one of the reasons why Massimiliano Allegri and his men have only lost two league games this season, but you could also argue that it's why they have drawn so many as well. In other words, sometimes they have perhaps focused too much on the defence rather than winning games."
Milan leads European defences by conceding only 20 goals across 28 league matches, averaging 0.71 goals per game. Arsenal, Roma, and Como rank in the top five defensively. This defensive strength has limited Milan to just two league losses under Massimiliano Allegri. However, the team's numerous draws suggest an over-emphasis on defensive solidity at the expense of attacking ambition and winning matches. The defensive improvement follows a difficult 2024-25 season. A podcast episode explores the reasons behind Milan's defensive transformation and discusses strategic considerations for the upcoming transfer window.
