Michael Ballack must have had maaaaaany sleepless footballing nights, I cant think of many players with this record.
with German clubs:
league runner up
(1999-2000)
(2001-2002)
(2002-2003)
(2003-2004)
with Chelsea
league runner up
(2006-2007)
(2007-2008) (has never won it)
Champions league
runner up 2002
runner up 2008 (has never won it)
with Germany (this is where it really hurts)
World Cup
runner up (2002)
3rd place (2006) (has never won it)
Confederations Cup
runner up 2005 (has never won it)
Euro
runner up 2008 (yep you guessed it)
PS. Michael Ballack has won things I am just amazed at the trophies he has missed out on, what do you think.
YUP that is a crazy record..but on the other side he is the highest scorer by a midfielder in the international level..and he is such a wonderful player..and last season he single handedly kept chelsea in the title race till the final day of the premier league after only arriving in christmas from a terrible injury and without the likes of lampard and all..

Steven Gerrard gets older his grand kids will say excuse me poppy how come you never won the premiership at all, is it because you played for Liverpool and not Man Utd

Ah another of football’s nearly men. The game is full of them.
He won the FA Cup in that smash and grab over United in ‘07 so he’ll have to contend with that!
I’m sure we only lost because Ryan Giggs was running out of room for his winner medals. He built an extension in the close season I am very happy to report.
