Why Eden Hazard ranks #122 in Football
Eden Hazard ranks 122nd among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 671st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 78, Statistics 82. 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 2007–2023 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, 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 premier league titles 2, europa league titles 2, pfa player of the year awards 1, belgium caps 126.
Immediately ahead sits Marco Reus on 77.9, a gap of -2.4 points. Directly behind is Juninho Pernambucano on 77.4. 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.
