Why Paco Gento ranks #28 in Football
Paco Gento ranks 28th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 107th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 92, Statistics 80. 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 1952–1971 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1956, which sets the Peak component at 88. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european cups 6, la liga titles 12, real madrid appearances 600, career goals 182.
Immediately ahead sits Luka Modrić on 87.3, a gap of -0.3 points. Directly behind is Kenny Dalglish on 87.3. 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.
