Why Kaká ranks #105 in Football
Kaká ranks 105th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 181st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 96, Longevity 78, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 2001–2017 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes ballon d'or awards 1, champions league titles 1, world cup titles 1, serie a titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Toni Kroos on 87.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Christen Press on 87.0. 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.
