What team or club has the best defence?

Question

Out of all the leagues out there?

Including leagues in North America, South America, Euorpe,etc.?

Answer 1

Bayern Munich once again! Perfect combination of speed and power.

But the midfield bears a lot of the defensive burden. They know how to get and defend very well.  

Answer 2

Spain and Barcelona can play with a good Defence

Then I'll say Real Madrid

Answer 3

When italy was down against Australia they flopped

Answer 4

Italy of-course their catenaccio style of play is world renown. It helped them win the 2006 world cup. Tom Italy did play in that style temporarily in the world cup.

When Italy was reduced to 10 men in the fiftieth minute of the 2006 FIFA World Cup 2nd round match against Australia, coach Marcello Lippi changed the Italian's formation to a defensive orientation which caused the British newspaper The Guardian to note that "the timidity of Italy's approach had made it seem that Helenio Herrera, the high priest of catenaccio, had taken possession of the soul of Marcello Lippi".

Nowadays catenaccio is used less and less by top teams, and generally only under particular circumstances, such as when suffering from a numerical inferiority following a sending off, or when needing to defend a marginal scoreline until the end of the match.

Somthing I picked up from wikipedia.

Anyway the Catenaccio syle will 4ever be synonomous with Italy wetaher they apply it in a match or not.

And yes It is Chelsea with the best defence in club football.

Answer 5

Italy no doubt.

Baresi, Gentile, Scirea, Faccheti, Maldini, Cabrini, Collovati, Ferrara, Costacurta, Panucci, Cannavaro, Nesta. So many legendary defenders.

Whoever said they played catenaccio in 2006 is wrong, Catenaccio refers to the particular system used by Herrera and Trapattoni, not just overly defensive football in general. you're more likely to see Catenaccio from Ireland.

At club level it's Chelsea and Man Utd who lead the way.

Answer 6

Tottenham Hotspur.
