Goal teams up with Huawei to provide you with all the key statistics Europe’s five biggest leagues have to offer in 2014-15

Bayern Munich are Europe’s most dominant team in terms of possession, according to the latest Huawei Team Ranking.



Pep Guardiola’s men have enjoyed 71 per cent of the ball on average so far this season, with their comfortable 4-0 win over Werder Bremen at the weekend their 20th victory in 25 Bundesliga encounters.



Barcelona have been nearly as strong in La Liga with an average possession of 70 per cent after 27 games, with the Camp Nou outfit beating Eibar 2-0 on Sunday courtesy of a Lionel Messi double in yet another dominant display.



In France, PSG have also impressed on the ball with an average retention of 64 per cent and the reigning Ligue 1 champions remain well in the race for the title irrespective of their 3-2 loss against Girondins de Bordeaux on Sunday.



Roma are Serie A’s highest-placed representative in the possession charts in fourth position with an average of 62 per cent following their 2-0 loss versus Sampdoria on Monday.



Manchester United and Manchester City share fifth place with the same average of 60 per cent possession, although Manuel Pellegrini’s men still hold a two-point lead over their city rivals in the Premier League table.



Finally, Juventus, Real Madrid, Inter and Olympique de Marseille complete the top 10, with all four averaging 59 per cent possession.



At the bottom end of the table, Premier League side Crystal Palace seem to prefer to hit their opponents on the counterattack rather than dominate play, averaging 39 per cent so far in 2014-15, while Caen, Hertha, Levante and Chievo (all 41 per cent) have seen the least of the ball in France, Germany, Spain and Italy respectively.
