After the longest injury break in his 12-year career, Germany captain Michael Ballack wants to compensate by lifting the Champions League trophy with Chelsea and the Euro 2008 title with his country.
In an interview that appeared yesterday in German magazine Kicker, the 31-year-old says he wants to make amends for his eight-month break, after an ankle injury, with plenty of silverware.
"I hope 2008 will be a year of titles for me: the Champions League and the European Championships," the midfielder told Kicker.
Chelsea faces Greek champion Olympiakos in the Champions League's first knock-out round tie in February, while Germany has drawn Poland, Croatia and host Austria for next June's Euro 2008 tournament.
