"If I have to make a tackle, I have made a mistake"
I have tried to measure overall defensive impact, beyond individual defensive actions. Plotting relative threat by direct opponents against team-wide defensive performance leads to the graph below.
๐งต
1. Serie A teams concede a low total volume of open play xG, but a higher % of threat is created by strikers
ย ย 2. Bundesliga teams concede high xG and Premier League strikers struggle to generate threat, which explains many failed transfers
3. Arsenal's Gabriel and Saliba are both excellent, as is Juan Foyth
ย 4. Eric Garcia struggles to defend his direct opponents

By tracking open-play expected goals and assists from direct opponents, we can get an idea of which centre backs across Europe's top 5 leagues defend most effectively.

Using StatsBombโs open data, I calculated xG prevented by each block during the four most recent major tournaments. The tables below reveal the 15 best players in terms of shot-blocking across and within the last two World Cups and EUROโs.
