Why Melanie Behringer ranks #177 in Football

Melanie Behringer ranks 177th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 347th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 90, Statistics 86. 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 2005–2017 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, 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 olympic gold medals 1, world cup titles 1, european championship titles 2, germany caps 123.

Immediately ahead sits Kadidiatou Diani on 85.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Raúl González on 85.3. 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.
