LiveScore teamed up with Oxford Maths Professor Dr. Tom Crawford to reveal the next generation of stars trending for the title of the G.O.A.T. 2.0 using innovative statistical analysis.
With Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo now entering the twilight of their careers, the G.O.A.T. conversation is more exciting than ever. So, which young player will rise to take their place in football’s history books?
Three years after we brought the G.O.A.T Index to the world, which enthroned Ronaldo as the all time winner, the brilliant Dr Tom Crawford revamped his formula to identify Kylian Mbappé as the game’s new leading light, with an index score of 86 seeing him top the G.O.A.T. Index 2.0 rankings.
Dr Tom’s sophisticated equation revealed some highly interesting findings, ranking players by their goals, assists, individual and international honours, alongside innovating the 'G.O.A.T. Curve', which analyses the career trajectory of Messi and Ronaldo to model the future performance of the game's current wonderkids.
The full video can be found on LiveScore’s YouTube channel, with cutdowns shared across socials, and a standout exclusive national placement in the Mirror. Watch the full video now to find out which young stars are set to challenge for the G.O.A.T. crown!
