Why Arturo Vidal ranks #109 in Football
Arturo Vidal ranks 109th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 386th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 86, Longevity 86, Honours 84, Statistics 80. 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 2006–present with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, 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 copa américa titles 2, serie a titles 4, bundesliga titles 3, la liga titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Robert Pirès on 83.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Caroline Graham Hansen on 83.1. 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.
