Italian media: Roma has built a championship-level defense and conceded 5 goals in the league, tied with Arsenal for the fewest among the five major leagues

According to reports from All Market Network, Roma is building its own defense line for the championship.

Roma's offense has not yet found complete continuity, but their defense is close to championship level. The data is very clear: in the first 11 rounds of Serie A, Gasperini's team conceded only 5 goals. This data makes Roma one of the strongest defenses in Europe. Among the five major leagues, only Arsenal has the same performance, while Bayern Munich (conceded 6 goals in 10 games), Real Madrid (conceded 10 goals in 12 games) and Paris Saint-Germain (conceded 11 goals in 12 games) are chasing behind.

The stability of the defense is not accidental, but the result of careful construction over the past few months. As early as Ranieri's time, Roma had already used defense as its main weapon. Gasperini further added his own tactical concepts on this basis, making Roma's defense almost impeccable. In fact, in 2025, Roma only conceded 16 goals in 31 Serie A games and maintained a clean sheet record of 16 games. Plus two clean sheets in the Europa League, a total of 18 clean sheets were reached. In the last 15 games, Roma has set a record in the five major leagues, successfully keeping clean sheets in 7 games.

Sveral's contribution is crucial, and this increasingly stable goalkeeper is the key to the defense. The goalkeeper, born in 1999, was named the best goalkeeper last season and continues to maintain a top level: his saves can often play a key role for the team like scoring goals. Working with a defense led by Roberto Mancini and an increasingly difficult backline to break down, Roma is building its title ambitions on a solid defensive foundation.
