Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Juventus have Europe's best defences, with the reigning Bundesliga champions leading the Huawei Team Ranking ahead of the Spanish giants and Max Allegri's outfit. 

The Allianz Arena side have conceded just four times in 17 league games - an average of 0.24 goals per match - with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who came third in the voting for the Fifa Ballon d'Or, keeping 13 clean sheets in the process. 

Juventus and Barcelona, meanwhile, have been impressive at the back as well with an average of 0.50 goals conceded per match so far this season. 

Both sides have conceded nine goals in 18 games, with the Serie A champions' defence proving unbeatable on 10 occasions. The Camp Nou side shut out their opponents 11 times. 

Saint-Etienne, somewhat surprisingly, have France's best defence with an average of 0.65 goals conceded per game, while Southampton hold that title in England with an average of 0.71 goals conceded.

Roma sit sixth with an average of 0.72 goals conceded per game, with Valencia occupying seventh place with 0.83 goals conceded per game. 

Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, Nantes and Lille complete the top 10 with an average of 0.85 goals conceded per encounter. 

At the bottom end of the table, Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen have the worst defence of Europe's top five leagues, conceding 39 goals in 17 games so far, averaging 2.39 goals conceded each match.

Parma have Serie A's worst defence with an average of 2.17 goals conceded per game, while Elche (1.94), QPR (1.76) and Evian (1.70) have the biggest problems at the back in Spain, England and France, respectively.
