The teams in the top 5 championships with the most goals conceded in 2025 are Tottenham and Real Madrid, two teams with teams and budgets of hundreds of millions of euros.
At the end of 2025, statisticians at Opta have revealed the names of the teams with the most goals conceded in the year about to end. We are talking about the formations of the top 5 European championships (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France).
Real Madrid and Tottenham end 2025 at the top of an embarrassing ranking
The first two positions are occupied by two teams with claims: Tottenham have conceded 83 goals in 53 games (average of 1.56 per game), while Real Madrid's players have had the ball out of their own net 80 times in 67 games (average of 1.19 goals conceded / match).
Also at the 80 mark is Brest, from Ligue 1, but in a smaller number of matches.
In these 67 games, 793 shots were sent to the Madrid goalan average of nearly 12 per game, shocking for a team of this caliber.
Things would have looked bleak for Real Madrid if it had been anyone other than Thibaut Courtois between the goals. The Belgian is the goalkeeper in the top 5 championships with the most saves in 2025, 174. It's a flattering statistic for the Belgian goalkeeper, but alarming for Xabi Alonso and his pupils.
