Roma's Defensive Masterclass: Conceding Just 11 Goals in 9 Months
6 Sep
Summary
- Roma's defense has been the least beaten in top 5 leagues since 2025
- Only 11 goals conceded since Roma-Lazio match in early January 2025
- Napoli is the only Italian team with more clean sheets than Roma
As of September 6th, 2025, Roma's defensive prowess has been the driving force behind their recent resurgence. In the first 9 months of the year, the Giallorossi have been the least beaten team in the top 5 European leagues, conceding just 11 goals since their match against Lazio in early January.
This defensive solidity has been a key factor in Roma's push for a Champions League spot. Under the guidance of managers Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini, the team has found the right balance between attack and defense, with their backline proving nearly impenetrable.
In fact, only Napoli has managed to record more clean sheets than Roma in Italy this season. Abroad, the gap is less evident, with Athletic Club in Spain being the only team to have conceded fewer goals than the Giallorossi. This defensive masterclass has been crucial in keeping Roma in the hunt for a top-four finish, and the club will be hoping to maintain this form as the season progresses.
