Barcelona Barca conceded least amount of goals

The third international break of the season and Barcelona remain one of the strongest teams in Europe.

Although doubts have arisen in their last few matches about the style of play and their theoretical goalscorer, Luis Suarez, who is enduring his worst goal drought since arriving at the Camp Nou in 2014, the Blaugrana have reversed the dark times since losing against Real Madrid (3-1 and 2-0) in the Supercopa de Espana.

Ernesto Valverde's side lead LaLiga with a four-point advantage over Valencia and also occupy top spot in their Champions League group, which includes the runner-up of the competition last season, Juventus.

In Europe, only two teams can be compared to Messi and Co.

The first is Paris Saint-Germain, who have a brilliant front three and the most goals on the continent from Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe.

Manchester City, a very prominent leader in the Premier League, are the other.

Pep Guardiola's team have, like Barcelona, 31 points in 11 games (10 wins and a draw).

Barcelona's defence is one of the main aspects to their great start and strong statistics this season.

Since that painful Supercopa defeat, Marc-Andre ter Stegen has only conceded five goals; four in the league and one in the Champions League.

It is the least amount of goals conceded in Europe.

The German is enjoying a great moment with his club, as many of his world-class saves have given the Catalans some important results.

For example, the Blaugrana would not have drawn at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano nor would they have claimed the three points at the Estadio San Mames against Athletic Club.

84 minutes behind

PSG and Manchester City both surpass Barcelona in terms of minutes spent losing.

The Blaugrana have been behind for a total of 84 minutes (out of 1,440), which occurred during their fixture against Atletico Madrid.

Guardiola's group have spent a total of 68 minutes behind with PSG losing for only 45 minutes of the 2017/18 season.
