The UD Almería has had a tough season, especially when it comes to defense. With players like Pozo, Mendes, and Akieme, the team has conceded a record-breaking 72 goals this season, making them the worst defense in the club’s history. Despite changes in coaching staff, the backline has struggled to keep opponents at bay, with most blame falling on the central defenders.
Looking back at the club’s past, the previous record for most goals conceded in a season was 71 back in 2013-2014. However, this year’s team has surpassed that number, setting a new unwanted record. With two games left in the season, the UD Almería’s defense is on track to continue leaking goals, further cementing their place as the worst defense in the club’s history.
Not only is the UD Almería struggling defensively within Spain, but they also rank poorly in Europe. They are currently the sixth-worst defense on the continent, with teams like Burnley and Salernitana also ahead of them in terms of goals conceded. The club will have to address their defensive issues if they want to avoid a similar fate in future seasons.
