Real Madrid has never conceded fewer goals in its history. Despite the injuries of Courtois, Militão and Alaba, they had never conceded less.
Carlo Ancelotti has always maintained that good defense depends more on will than on talent. Madrid presses this season an average of 147 times per game, 20 more than in the Italian's first season. For the first time in the last eight seasons, he does it more times in the opponent's field than in his own. All these factors lead the opponents to barely registering 1.65 clean shots per game.
