Zidane's tactics have worked to perfection. AFP

Real Madrid are the La Liga champions and Zinedine Zidane, his coach, has had a lot to do with it. He knew how to optimise his squad's resources to achieve his objective with one game to spare. ProFootballDB data shows that his method works even better than Simeone's.

Who says Zidane is an attacking minded coach? Real Madrid are one of the teams who score most in the whole world, but one of their other major strengths is their defence. He has managed to make his defence the hardest to break down in the whole world.

A ProFootballDB with the rest of the clubs in the top five European leagues proves that. Real Madrid concede just 0.6 goals per game, lower than any other club in Spain, England, Italy, Germany and France.

Their main chasers are Atletico on 0.7. Atletico are very well known for their solid defence so that is huge credit to Zidane and 'Los Blancos'.

Real Madrid have an even better defence than Liverpool (0.8) while Reims also have the same. Rennes, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao, PSG and Bayern are all on 0.9 and Inter, Leicester and Barca on 1.
