Why Andrea Barzagli ranks #99 in Football
Andrea Barzagli ranks 99th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 167th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 90, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2000–2019 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, serie a titles 8, italy caps 73, coppa italia titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Johan Neeskens on 87.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ciro Immobile on 87.2. 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.
