Exhibit Narrative
15 goals conceded in 38 games — an average of just 0.39 goals per match.
Under José Mourinho's first season at Chelsea, the Blues established the most formidable defensive record in Premier League history. They conceded only 15 goals across 38 matches, keeping 25 clean sheets. Led by John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, and goalkeeper Petr Čech, this defensive unit remains the benchmark for organised, disciplined backlines in modern English football.
