PSG, Manchester City & Arsenal are Europe's most successful attacking passers

Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Arsenal make up the top three in the Huawei Team Ranking with each of them completing over 1,200 passes in the opposition's half so far. 

The Ligue 1 champions - who trail Lille by just two points - have already racked up 1,592 successful passes outside of their own half in five games, with this weekend's 1-1 away draw against Stade Rennais as yet another example of their dominance in their opposition’s territory.
  

In the Premier League, titleholders Manchester City and Arsenal have been the most impressive passers on hostile ground in the opening weeks of the 2014-15 campaign. 

City have so far completed 1,314 passes in the opposition's half after four games, while Arsene Wenger's men have accumulated 1,234 successful passes in as many matches, making them the only three teams to have surpassed the 1,200 mark at this stage of the season. 

With both teams generally having plenty of touches in the opposition half, it was little surprise there were chances galore in this weekend's encounter at the Emirates Stadium, which eventually ended in a 2-2 draw. 

Meanwhile, Barcelona and Olympique Lyonnais complete the top five with 1,199 and 1,194 successful passes outside of their own half from three and five matches, respectively.  

With Bundesliga and La Liga underway just three weeks and Serie A just two matchdays, the top 10 is dominated by teams from Ligue 1 and Premier League.  

Manchester United and Tottenham have racked up 1146 and 1,112 passes, respectively, with Lille (1,090 completed passes) and Monaco (1,186) sitting eighth and ninth. 

Finally, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea are the 10th and last remaining team to have passed the 1,000 successful passes in the opposition's half mark with 1,025.
