Why László Kubala ranks #89 in Football
László Kubala ranks 89th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 415th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 80, 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 1946–1967 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1951, 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 la liga titles 4, copa del rey titles 5, barcelona goals 194, fairs cup titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Cristiana Girelli on 82.2, a gap of -0.7 points. Directly behind is Ronald Koeman on 82.0. 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.
