Why Pavel Nedvěd ranks #63 in Football

Pavel Nedvěd ranks 63rd among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 188th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 84, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 909 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1991–2009 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 ballon d'or 1, serie a titles 2, cup winners' cup titles 1, czech republic caps 91.

Immediately ahead sits Peter Schmeichel on 85.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Francesco Totti on 85.2. 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.
