Is saying GOAT (greatest of all time) to a person okay as only Allah is greatest?

No issue when used in a specific worldly context like football, as it does not imply greatness rivaling Allah. goat, greatest, allah, context, figurative speech, sports https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pcK7ieKvSeE
So this has to be taken into context. For example, in football, we're not talking about somebody who is greater than Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. We're just talking about somebody who is the greatest of all time in terms of those who have lived and played football. So there's no issue with it.
