We've equaled our best-ever defensive record

After 19 league matches, Atlético de Madrid have equaled their best-ever defensive record at this height of the season: just eight goals conceded. Atleti have also finished the first half of the season as the team with the best defensive record in LaLiga.

"I think our defense worked very hard and we were able to come home with the win we needed," Diego Pablo Simeone said after our 0-1 win in Ipurua against Eibar.

In our 19 league matches, we've conceded an average of 3.6 shots per game, for a total of 70. Jan Oblak has saved 62 of those shots.

Having conceded just eight goals in 19 league matches, we've equalled the defensive record we set in the 2015-16 season.
