Trending
Michael Ballack was one of the most revered names in the game by the time he arrived at the Stamford Bridge in 2006. A commander in midfield, he enjoyed several successful years with FC Kaiserslautern, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich as well as the German national team before he arrived at West London in one of the high-profile transfers experienced by English football.
While injuries did not help him in his stint at Chelsea, Ballack was still an influential figure on the pitch and won everything there was on offer in England with Chelsea.
The German international spent four years at Chelsea, making 166 appearances across all competitions and in the process bagged 25 goals and several assists. A leader on and off the pitch, Ballack is one of the greatest German footballers of all times and it goes without saying that he is one of the finest Germans to have played in the Premier League.
