Why Lena Goeßling ranks #137 in Football
Lena Goeßling ranks 137th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 269th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 89, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 84. 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 2004–2021 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, which sets the Peak component at 89. Honours 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 olympic gold medals 1, champions league titles 2, european championship titles 1, bundesliga titles 5.
Immediately ahead sits Shannon Boxx on 86.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Roger Milla on 86.0. 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.
