#4 Paris Saint Germain PSG - 4 goals

It is helping the Parisian giants go on a winning run, crushing several teams along the way. The daunting front three of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have worked excellently well in tandem, making 33 goal contributions amongst them.

The three-man back formation has stabilized the balance in the team. They have hit 26 goals in eight Ligue 1 games but have conceded only four in return.

#3 Atalanta - 3 goals

AS Roma v Atalanta BC - Serie A Gian Piero Gasperini's work at Atalanta is noteworthy. Over the last few seasons, his team has played some of the most attractive attacking football in Italy and now they have added defensive resilience to it as well. They have worked hard without the ball and have conceded only three goals in seven Serie A games so far. With 17 points to their name, Atalanta are currently second in the table, behind Napoli (also on 17 points) courtesy of an inferior goal difference.

#2 Villarreal - 2 goals

Villarreal CF v Elche CF - LaLiga Santander The Yellow Submarine under Unai Emery continue to be a miser side when it comes to conceding goals. Their league performances have been decent with the defence leading the way. They have garnered 10 points in six games so far in La Liga. The situation would have been a lot better had their attacking unit clicked since the defence has conceded only two goals so far.

#1 FC Barcelona - 1 goal

Cadiz CF v FC Barcelona - LaLiga Santander Xavi's Barcelona was supposed to show poise, control and brilliance on the ball and in attack. They have done that and more as their superior defensive record has grabbed the headlines as well. The Blaugrana have conceded only one goal in six games with their new defensive stars playing a crucial role in the team's success. It does not mean that the Nou Camp outfit have not attacked. The numbers show that Barcelona are also the team with the highest number of goals scored in La Liga this season (18).
