Why Juninho Pernambucano ranks #123 in Football
Juninho Pernambucano ranks 123rd among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 687th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 82, Longevity 82, Honours 74, 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 1993–2013 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2002, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes ligue 1 titles 7, free-kick goals 77, career goals 176, appearances for lyon 344.
Immediately ahead sits Eden Hazard on 80.3, a gap of 2.9 points. Directly behind is Günter Netzer on 79.6. 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.
