Andreas Christensen’s incredible defensive stat putting him among the world’s best

After turning around his Chelsea career last season, Andreas Christensen carried that superb form into the Euros with Denmark, where his team overcame the horror of watching their teammate collapse on the pitch to produce a really impressive tournament.

Since then, he’s returned to Chelsea to pick up where he left off at club level too.

The defender is in the middle of a true annus mirabilis, and there’s no better way to sum it up than to look at his clean sheet stats.

The Cobham product has a quite insane 36 clean sheets in his last 44 games for club and country. That’s an 81% clean sheet rate, a record that would earn you the title of best defender of all time if you were to keep it up for an extended period.

Given how defensively strong Thomas Tuchel’s team are, we wouldn’t back against AC keeping that run going a little longer.
