Ballack... A natural leader. In a team with a terry and a lampard and a drogba and a cech, a carvalho and an essien he was up there in the chain of command.
@John Smith a bunch of silverbacks
@@511dydy lol
@John Smith cannot agree with you more. Hoping to see these chelsea young cubs grow to become alphas. We already have some like azpli.
Got interested in football because of Ballack, such a creative player on the field
Ballack,lampard,terry!
United fan here. I absolutely hated the Chelsea side back then when Terry, Cole, Drogba and them were still playing. United vs Chelsea used to be one of the best matches in the season, in terms of talent and excitement. Miss them years. We both had proper team competing for title every year.
You know what I hated? Seeing United won 3 titles in a row after what I thought would be Chelsea's era to dominate the league.
@@bgtcsjm i really thought united were done for.. especially when chelsea was on the ascendancy.. but nope... they came and snatched three in a row.. lol.. death throws?
Hope this rivalry will happen again in the future. Imagine Tammy, Mount, Reece James, Billy and Tomori vs Rashford, Greenwood, Dan James, Wan Bissaka and Brandon Williams in the next 5 years...
😂😂😂
Shame Mourinho left, he would've made Chelsea untouchable, however it must be said that Avram was the man who got the Blues to the CL Final. Scolari's appointment was a disappointment. Ancelotti only turned out to be a short-term solution. Villas-Boas was a disaster. RDM cleaned up but couldn't do it all again the next season making him another short-termer. And how many times did Hiddink had to steady the ship? No wonder Fergie was laughing 😂
Ballack has to be one of the best free signings in premier League history, loved him in blue 💙
Indeed 👍
Good in the air, good technique... Couldn’t complete a 5 yard pass most games though. Am i the only Chelsea fan who got frustrated watching him?
LosPoderes7 yes
@@LosPoderes7 he would do everything but a 5 yard pass lol
@@Surveillance11 but always covered at the end of every game the most distance on the pitch, dont sound lazy 🤷🏼♀️
A team of legends. Terry, Drogba, Ballack, Makelele, Cech, Cole, Essien, etc... Absolute legends
lampard
Total legends
Lampard, Robben, Gudjohnson, Malouda, eish man
But still couldn't win the league..always behind united
@@DilipKumar-ou6pg apart the five times they did win the Premier League, slapping them in the 05/06 and 09/10 title races 🤣
Ballack was my first favorite football player. He's one of the reason that I become Chelsea Fan until now. Love from Indonesia 💙
My very first Chelsea shirt was #13 BALLACK 2007-08 neon yellow away kit. I still have it along with my other chelsea kits.
same case, but Lampard for me. cheers~
Hana Natasha Kartika Same here, and I’ve been a Chelsea fan since 2006
Exactly same. Became a Chelsea fan bcoz of Ballack💙
@@gangstyled6384 me too. After the world cup 2006. I like Ballack in Germany national team then tried to find out about his club, turned out he just joined Chelsea at that time.
This match was typical example of why drogba was more than just goals
He is up there with van nistelrooy and henry , shearer , not the best finisher out of the 4 but damn he was good
Daryl Ayertey overrated
@@JamesJones-od2ns So is your mum
@@JamesJones-od2ns fool
James Jones well no...
The hugs from Ballack and Drogba at the final whistle proves the fight for the free kick was just for the team to win but nothing personal.
exactly! I loved both players, Drogba and Ballack.
Drogba took the free kick and gave penalty to ballack.
@@arca9646 Cause he knew it. Ballack had probably one of the most powerful shots at the time. The way how the wall was placed at the freekick could have been an easy-going job for Ballack. One of the best players during the past 20 years of german football. It's a shame how he got threaded by Löw and Lahm in the end.
@@patrickroloff2731 absolutely he is underrated in germany
I would add a useless victory ahahah
Michael Ballack = Chelsea Legend
Danke!
He was real selfish
definetely
This team essentially managed themselves that season. That’s how strong they were. Two cup finals and a title challenge. If only Mourinho and Robben stayed
Even if they stayed they wouldn't win anything. Manchester United were to strong for those 2 seasons. In the final United should of won the game comfortably but as usual Chelsea parked there bus and were out to kill Ronaldo. Carvahlio should of had a red card aswell in that final.
@@omaraz3161 I'm not sure Chelsea parked any bus in that CL final. The parking of buses began against Barcelona in 2011 Semi-final (in the two legs and in the final against Bayern, but Bayern played at home. Barcelona's 2nd leg game was the epic bus)
@@HusseinDoha what is the context of bayern playing at home?
@@HusseinDoha what are yous talking about? whats all this about buses?
@@omaraz3161 Nah I'm a United fan and the final was very balanced. If anything Chelsea came closer to winning before penalties, they hit the post twice. One of the most balanced finals I've ever seen, and I felt bad for Chelsea because they were deserving winners too, and aside from losing in the PL also got robbed in the CL semi against Barca the next year. The 08-09 final should've been a repeat of the 07/08 one.
World cup captains in the spine of our team: Terry, Lamps, Carvalho, Essien, Ballack, Drogba. That is a strong and stable backbone
Only 2 of those players captained teams at a World Cup
Shevchenko
and now we have mason mount great
Eddie Jones wtf do you have against mount
Dont forget, Shevchenko 🙄
Michael Ballack so underrated.
So ist es! Leider!
That was genuinely a team of leaders, as represented by 5 national team captains:
1. England - John Terry
2. Germany - Michael Ballack
3. Ivory Coast - Didier Drogba
4. Ghana - Michael Essien
5. Portugal - Vicardo Carvalho
Not sure if i've missed anyone: Petr Czech, Ivanovic, Shevchenko? Sorry about the spelling of names.
Don't forget Abramovich, he bought them with his petrodollars.💸💲💸
Cech was made captain of Czech Rep after his stint at Chelsea!
@@carlosjosephmod9668 🧂🧂🧂
You 👉 😭😭
Obi Mikel was also also a national team captain
@@EdderA exactly 😂😂 this was no ONE leader.
I remember one of the rags headlines after this game was "A kick in the Ballack's for Man united". haha.
@A smoking ChickenFish it really wasnt? chelsea sold their best player and were banned from signing playerd yet Chelseas 3rd? remember everyone thought the blues werent even gonna be qualifying for ucl
@A smoking ChickenFish Yeap! To see Man U win the Premier league and UCL combo was quite a hit to take
Ballack what a player. Makelele/Mikel Essien/Ballack Lampard as midfield options such a powerful midfield.
Don't forget Deco😭😭🔥
Michael Ballack was a MONSTER ❗❤️😎💪🏼
2004-2010 i was additive because of Ballack and die hard fan of him and my all time favorite club Chelsea FC..now im not watching any football games how one player can impact
That’s weird since Ballack didnt get to Chelsea until summer of 2006
My favorite player. He always supports Chelsea even after he left.
Ballack, the man who got me into football 💙
So is me
yup WC 2002 ❤
Count me in.
Michael Ballack is one of my favourite Chelsea players of all time
As a United fan, I miss the peak of the PL days between 2004 to 2011 (United vs Chelsea vs Arsenal vs Liverpool).
These top 4 not only challenged in the league but also reached UCL semi-finals and UCL finals year after year. In that period, Sir Alex won 5 PL titles in 6 years and reached 3 UCL finals in 4 years.
Ballack is one of a few players who is a legend in two clubs
Michael Ballack! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Ein wunderbarer Fußballer und extrem gutaussehender Deutscher Mann. 👍
What an era that was, with some intense games! 2004-2010

Mee too. I lost interest to watch football after this team broke up.

+ Ivanovich, yes, miss teem
Makelele legend
The fact we had Avram Grant as our manager and turmoil when Mourinho left, but still pushed one of the great United teams on all fronts shows how good elite we were. Need this back soon.
Never gonna have a squad this strong again
That felt just as amazing on the rewatch!!!
BALLACK 13 WILL ALWAYS BE OUR LEGEND
Ballack - what a legend
Can’t get enough from these clips always putting smiles on my face. Can’t believe we had all these big stars ✨ in our team, just can’t wIt to see what Lamps is going to do when the season resumes and new players coming in
Yeah
Yeah...Not just super gifted technically, but leaders to the boot. We could use one or two right now, though the the lack of such players is wide spread, its not just us.
@@HgHg-yp6ft well Timo Werner is on his way to become the next Ballack
14 years being chelsea fan, gotta admid I miss this squad so much along with Anelka, Malouda, and Alex.
I remember being in my highschool days watching this amazing Chelsea team. Even now after so many years I still get excited watching that amazing golden Chelsea team score a goal. Priceless memories which live forever with us.
so many legend in both sides i really missed that days.
The last few minutes of this match felt like an eternity!
Intangedous 😹😹
I used to support Chelsea because of Ballack. He was my favorite player of all-time.
That's the Chelsea I couldn't wait to see on tv. Absolute legends starting from 2004: Cech, Terry, Carvalho, Lampard, Makelele, Essien, Robben, Ballack, Deco, Shevchenko, Drogba, Anelka, damn.
No disrespect to the current squad but I lost interest and don't care about 17 year old Hudson Odois, Emersons, Kepas, Gilmores etc.
It's not the same.
I agree. Football was so much different and much more exciting back then.
Racing Red I don’t know about you but its because we were all younger. In /2007/08, I was 11 years old and pretty much was interested in every player. Now at the age of 23, I don’t care about some 18 year old kids like Gilmour or Greenwood. Thevolder you get, the less you care. Footballers from my generation like Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Lampard, A Cole, Terry are either retired or are in their 30s and aren’t as good as they were 10 or so years ago.
@@accountuser5588 Being younger is definitely one factor here, but there just aren't any interesting personalities in football nowadays imo. There are good footballers but not many with great character and personality. And besides, I really hate all that VAR stuff. Even if it benefits my favorite team I still hate it. Football was much better and more fun without it.
@@horsepower523 so true
@@horsepower523 I think footballers still have personality, it's just that they are aware that the media would make a headline out of anything these days.
I was so young and was so happy to watch this game. I was a big chelsea Fan and lampard doesnt play for chelsea in this Match. In germany to see that this was one of the best games from Michael Ballack was absolute legendary. Pure emotions and flashbacks to watch this game today again.
The old matches at this Level was the best!!!!!! (El Clasico is of the same Level and in some games was it better)
I really miss Ballack so much😭😭
Sehr nett! Danke!
ballack my favorite legend of all time
Danke!
2:48 just look at how Drogba made Anderson remembers he's still a kid ...lol
And right after that Rooney punished him for that smh
@@Chris-pb2vq punished who? 😂..carvarlo made the mistake.. Nthing to do with Drogba
ballack was a extreme underrated player
In 2008 i start support chelsea till now because of Micheal Ballack
And then start loving drogba lampard j terry chech a cole all the other legendd
When premier league was full of suspense and actions. Miss these days .
So basically according to you if united not in the title race then it is not a suspense 😂
@@Mash_gogo probably what he’s meant that nowadays people play without passion just play the game didn’t matter if win , lose or draw as long the paycheck is there . even derby game is not exciting as it was use to be before
@@kidmusic1167 💯
What a team🔥. What a player; Micheal Ballack 🔥
This brings back bad memories...
Sorry i loved your profile picture so i copied it but don't I don't have a youtube channel
Abshir Daud Lol that’s ok
You have a funny channel
@@briefcasemong01 Did you get that photo from 442oons
Abshir Daud Yup.
Ballack. My idol.
Cech, Terry, Ashley Cole, Ballack, Essien, Lampard, Drogba...man this Chelsea team was incredible.
I always thought Essien was a super underrated player. He was my favourite chelsea player during this time
I Remember watching this on TV. Chelsea were a Team to reckon with.
didn't win the prem though
Best Free signing ever.. The Legend himself.. "There was only One Michael Ballack back then... Now we have lots of Ballack" ..as said by Oliver Kahn in an interview once referring to the 2002 World cup
Ballack best season was when frank lampard was injured.
With essien and lampard, there was little space for him to play his style. Even on that match, he had little argument with drogba about who will take the free kick.
so many legend back then , the golden era
My fav footballer of all time, Michael Ballack
Back when Chelsea United was the pinnacle of Premier League football.
S K the time when chelsea, and united were on champions league final
@@zeetchelsea 2009 should have been our rematch and opportunity for revenge. Don't know who was to blame, but someone didn't want Chelsea in the final again
@@thejudge2149 It would have been a great final - Chelsea seeking revenge for Moscow, Ronaldo's last game for Man Utd
@@thejudge2149 Iniesta killed ya get over it.
@@joeryderrichardson6249 don't forget about Fernando Torres 😂.
Michael Ballack is so underrated man
This was when football was enjoyable....Ballack was very much underrated for us but he was very effective and coming from Bayern meaning he had pedigree but bcuz he was German, he didnt get enough credit in England due to the England v Germany rivalry
I’m a biggest fan of CFC, since I was child. My first football kit ever was Chelsea’s. My daddy bought me it in 2005, when we got PL champions. I remember those day as a yesterday.
MY BIGGEST DREAM IS VISIT STAMFORD BRIDGE!!!
And I believe it’ll come true💪
Bro been in your position ... hope it comes very soon after covid! God Bless and Keep the blue Flag Flying High Kardesim
And yet we lose it all that season. Tears roll out my cheek when I saw Ballack crying 😭
Ballack13 Legend with the brace, always nice to see the Classic games of us beating the Dirty Devil's lol💙CFC💪✌️⚽⚽👏

yeah united 100% better dont @ me
@@RakhaBM400 @ you
This is incredibly unfortunate season for one of the strongest Chelsea teams in decades.
I really thought we gonna won the Ucl on that year and get over from united' shadow since we lost the Premier league, but well you knew the rest history... I stop watching football for a while after Moscow heartbreak
Horn Horn plastic fan
This team gives me goosebumps till date!!! We were that great!!!
What a game , these teams at the time were absolutely incredible
So much personality in that team

Why is everyone in the comments from there
Ballack was a beast back then 🔥
That penalty was Un-ballack-able! 💥🤯
Awesome poetry dude ur pure genius
So many legend player. I miss this moment. Chelsea have a good player and strong mentality
Love blues🇸🇴❤
That was a dream team!
💙💙💙
The old Chelsea was always a joy to watch💙
One off my favourite players Michael Ballack woow
This was my first watching chelsea match back then, i was 13 as we got our new tv, became a fan since.
Shevchenko coming all the back to defend and clear the ball off the line is pretty insane
Drogba and Ballack. You can't find those type of players today
Drogba, Ballack, Anelka, Shevchenko, Joe Cole, Essien, Kalou, Lampard. What a team !!!
Ballack is Chelsea Legend 🇩🇪💙🔵🔥🇩🇪
Football was different back then, we were a force to reckon with, times have really changed
Man ballack deserved a ucl
Phenomenal header for the first goal. Needs to be placed extremely well and is, from open play as well. Super cross too, obviously.
Ashley cole and his off the line clearances are so iconic. He used to do it so much. What a defender, we have always been weak in the left back position since he left.
"Thank god for Ashley Cole", boy do I miss those off the line clearances.
7:34 "thank god for ashley cole indeed"
I miss these good old days so much.
Ballack sempre incrível!
Que equipazo tenía el Chelsea en esta temporada, un saludo desde México 🇲🇽🤠
I love Chealsea 💙 I am from Colombia 💛💙❤
PAYASO ASESINO bring drugs..
@@stuartmurphy6739 ?
plz stay away from donkeys?
I replay and kept my phone in full volume, man I miss those days, when fan are soo strong and they are the reason for winning games. Love you Chelsea and fans💙💙💙💙CTID.
The whole team had men, who had flair and leadership. Which is what we are badly missing today and were missing in recent years. How sad..
Man I was in high school still remember the Sunday i was watching this
I remember been furious at Ballack for trying to take that free-kick away from Drogba, who ALWAYS took it from that range even with Ballack playing. That was Drogba's range, back off. Poor Essien was embarrassed. (Similar to the Barkley/Jorginho Penalty moment, lol)
No Drogba was better freekick taker.
@Score Goal
1. Drogba has more Chelsea seniority than Ballack
2. Due to that Seniority, Drogba has already proven himself a good free-kick taker and goal scorer for Chelsea
3. Before THAT moment, Ballack only took one free-kick for Chelsea when Lamps & Drogba were on the field. Where as Drogba was the regular taker from THAT distance.
4. Since you never watched Chelsea play live and probably are basing your information on wiki rather than what actually happened, maybe try keeping your mouth shut before putting your foot in your mouth.
@@ForestPantherGod you are right
@Score Goal whose the one talking nonsense.. Ballack's free kicks won't even hit the target dumb2
Ballack was outstanding
I absolutely hated Drogba, Terry, Lampard, Ballack (since his Leverkusen days and how they eliminated United on away goals in Champions League semis 2001) and Cole (since his Arsenal days).
Now I realise the quality of those players and how much I actually wanted them to be part of United instead of rivals. Legends 🙌🏻
Lampard can’t play this game cause his mother was passed away on this day.
Remembered it bruh
Thank you! Was wondering why he wasn't there.
All my grandparents died and I was crestfallen so couldn’t even think the pain him and his family went through.
Not his mother ,I think his grand mother
Rehan raza khan def was his mother, i watched this match.
God what a player he was!
Ballack one of my favourite player
My favourite player for ever
Essien's reaction at 4:30 😂😂😂
I miss this Chelsea so much!
Look at Ballack and Drogba, they're fight in the match to disturb the opponent, after that they hug each other again. At that time we have so many leaders and legend, also Shevchenko that make crucial save.
Ballack,Powefull shooting man
Ballack 💙
