SSC Napoli v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Group C
The Ligue 1 side are the only team in the top European league to win all their league games so far this season. PSG have won all 14 games played in the Ligue 1 so far this season, which has seen them stay at the top of the table with an astonishing 42 points.

While their brilliant strike force will be taking all the credit, one should not forget that PSG have conceded just 7 goals in those 14 games and as such, their success is built on a stellar defence.
In the Champions League, though, the defence has let in the same amount of goals in 4 games, as they have not managed a clean sheet yet in the tournament. Altogether, PSG has conceded 14 goals in 19 games in all competitions, which sees them edge out Valencia by a thin margin to become the 4th best defence in Europe right now.
The arrival of Buffon has helped the Ligue 1 Champions and the centre-back pairing of Marquinhos and Thiago Silva has been rock solid for most parts. PSG conceded just 29 goals from 38 games in Ligue 1 last season. By the look of things, the French side could even better that tally this season.

Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written over 8500 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
