Third best defence in Europe £25.5m

Of the top 5 leagues, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Premier League only Atletico Madrid (Spain) and Bayern Munich (Germany) have conceded fewer goals, 2 each.
Back in January Mauricio Pochettino told a Daily Telegraph reporter that the way the team work without the ball was a key component in having such a tight defence.
