Why Emmanuel Petit ranks #314 in Football
Emmanuel Petit ranks 314th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 794th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 88, Statistics 80. 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 1988–2004 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, 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, european championship titles 1, premier league titles 1, fa cup titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Ricardo Carvalho on 82.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Athenea del Castillo on 82.6. 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.
