Another Arsenal game, another clean sheet. Arteta's side are not only famous for their set-piece attack - it was this weapon that brought them victory and top of the Premier League table in the last round of the league. What is even more eye-catching is the "Gunners Great Wall" they built: This defense line composed of Spanish goalkeeper Raya, central defenders Saliba and Gabriel, and already established full-backs Timber and Calafiore, cost Arsenal less than 100 million pounds in total, but it has become the best defense line in Europe.
So far this season, Arsenal has conceded only three goals in all competitions and completed eight clean sheets. This is the best defensive start in the Gunners' 138-year history. Only Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United can break through Raya's ten fingers. The guardian of this near-impenetrable wall has already won two Golden Gloves in his first two seasons and is on pace to win a third trophy, leading the Premier League clean sheets list with five after eight games.
Arsenal has won five consecutive games in all competitions and has kept clean sheets in the last three games. They only allowed their opponents to take 18 shots. In addition, Opta pointed out that this is the first time since November of the 2003-2004 season, the "undefeated championship season", that the London team has failed to allow its opponents any shot opportunities in two consecutive Premier League games. Any Gunners fan will be excited about this record. Neither West Ham nor Fulham were able to hit the mark against the wall erected by Arteta.
In 11 games this season, Atletico Madrid's next Champions League opponent Arsenal conceded only 0.27 goals per game. This is simply appalling data. Especially considering that the only goal they conceded in open play was scored by Haaland, one of the best strikers in the world. The other two goals conceded came from set pieces. In the top competition of the Champions League, after facing Athletic Bilbao (0-2) and Olympiacos (2-0), the Gunners still don't know what it feels like to concede a goal. The disciples of "bandit coach" Simeone had better prepare enough ammunition and calibrate their sights before heading to the Emirates Stadium as a guest.
