Why Roberto Baggio ranks #65 in Football
Roberto Baggio ranks 65th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 259th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 83, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 875 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1982–2004 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career goals 318, ballon d'or 1, serie a titles 2, uefa cups 1.
Immediately ahead sits Thiago Silva on 84.1, a gap of -0.8 points. Directly behind is Miroslav Klose on 84.6. 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.
