Why Alexis Sánchez ranks #141 in Football
Alexis Sánchez ranks 141st among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 570th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 86, Longevity 84, Honours 80, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 909 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2005–present with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes chile goals 51, chile caps 167, copa américa titles 2, la liga titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Dennis Bergkamp on 81.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Keira Walsh on 81.8. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
