Apologies if this has been discussed before but it occured to me last night has Ballack not lost an incredible number of finals and championships? The champions league twice, German cup, premiership and Bundesliga on the last day of the season etc... Anyone got any stats?
Bayer 04 Leverkusen Bundesliga: (runner-up): 1998-99, 1999-00, 2001-02 German Cup: (runner-up): 2002 UEFA Champions League: (runner-up): 2002 FC Bayern Munich (runner-up): 2003-04 Chelsea Premier League: (runner-up): 2006-07, 2007-08 Football League Cup: (runner-up): 2008 UEFA Champions League: (runner-up): 2008 Germany FIFA World Cup: (runner-up): 2002 (3rd Place): 2006 UEFA European Football Championship: (runner-up): 2008 FIFA Confederations Cup: (3rd Place): 2005
