Europe’s best defense! Bayern leaves Real, Barça, and the rest in the dust

Although FC Bayern once again dropped points in their 2-2 draw against FC Augsburg, the German record champions are number one in Europe in one remarkable statistic.

A recent study by the CIES Football Observatory shows that no other team from the 32 European leagues analyzed allows as few opponent shots on goal as the Munich side.

This statistic is likely to come as a surprise to some, especially after the Augsburg game. After all, Bayern conceded a goal just eight seconds into the match, inadvertently setting a new negative record.
