Oxford Maths Professor declares Cristiano Ronaldo as 'the GOAT'
10th September 2021
A mathematician at Oxford University has revealed who are the 10 greatest players of all-time and crowned Cristiano Ronaldo as the GOAT.
Dr. Tom Crawford, a mathematician at Oxford University, claims he has proof that Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player in history using a ‘G.O.A.T index’.
So in an attempt to settle the debate, LiveScore turned to maths by teaming up with Dr. Crawford. The collaboration gave birth to a ‘G.O.A.T index’ that places Ronaldo as the greatest player ever.
The Portuguese ace scored a sound 100% rating, comfortably edging out second-place Messi’s 94%. Brazil legend Pele isn’t too far behind on 85% to complete the top three of history’s finest.
The G.O.A.T index
How did Dr. Crawford do it?
The mathematician first drew up a shortlist of 13 players to have won the Ballon d’Or at least twice. He then set the following seven categories: club titles, international titles, club goals, international goals, Ballon d’Or, records and Z-factor seasons.
Dr. Crawford awarded players points for each category and eventually deemed Ronaldo as the greatest player of all time.
