Top five clubs with most clean sheets in 2022-23 season

These teams have been on top form throughout the season

The number of crucial saves and clean sheets a custodian makes are sometimes used to determine their calibre or reputation.

High-caliber goalkeepers are found on many elite clubs, particularly in Europe's top five leagues, who maintain a significant number of clean sheets each season. However, the defence also contributes significantly to keeping the attackers at a minimum, thus the custodian isn't the only factor that prevents clubs from leaking goals.

In light of the above, let's have a look at the five teams from the top five leagues with the most clean sheets this season. Now, without further ado, let's begin:

5. Manchester City: 23

With just 31 goals allowed, Manchester City not only have the most points overall but also the greatest defensive record in the Premier League. Ruben Dias is a strong leader in the back line, with Aymeric Laporte finding his form again and John Stones improving on his strong play from the previous season despite sitting out the first two months of the current campaign.

4. Lazio: 24

Maurizio Sarri has always faced harsh criticism for his resistance to change. Instead of conforming to something's will, Sarri might have wanted for it to shatter.

Lazio have been one of the Serie A teams with the best defence and consistency this year. Lazio has the third-highest PPDA in Serie A this season (after Salernitana and Sassuolo) with a PPDA of 13.51. Also, among the top five leagues in Europe, it has the third-highest PPDA average.

3. Juventus - 24

The fact that Juventus have reduced the deficit with Napoli might determine whether they win the championship or not. In addition, Allegri's team will be keeping an eye on third-placed AC Milan, who are tied with them on 37 points, as well as Inter Milan, which is three points behind them and Lazio, Atalanta, and Roma, which are all another three behind.

Allegri was not getting carried away since the fight for the top four and Champions League qualifying was going to be close.

When necessary, goalie Ederson has additionally made significant stops. However, it is about City's entire playing style, not simply how good the defenders are. The city keeps their opponents from putting pressure by regularly controlling possession.

2. Manchester United: 27

A streak of three games lacking a goal, accompanied by losses at Liverpool and Newcastle United, has brought Manchester United back into fighting to the very end for a Champions League spot. They had appeared to be at ease in their pursuit of a top-four finish. De Gea has been a wall in front of the goal, but they have remained strong at the back.

1. Barcelona - 27

Barcelona have the potential to surpass a number of historical milestones, including Juventus' current record of 102 points for the most points ever in the history of the five major leagues. Barcelona have won the league and conceded only 15 goals.

Barcelona's defence is also among the best in the histories of the five major leagues, having allowed just nine goals in the first half.
