Why Ousmane Dembélé ranks #76 in Football
Ousmane Dembélé ranks 76th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 127th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, 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 2014–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 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, league titles 7.
Immediately ahead sits Lucy Bronze on 87.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Marco Verratti on 87.7. 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.
