Ballack names one chelsea positive after heavy bayern defeat

A great piece of football history!

After Bayern Munich's 5-1 thrashing of Chelsea in the 2005 Champions League semi-final second leg, Michael Ballack, the Chelsea midfielder, was asked about the performance. Despite the heavy defeat, Ballack praised one Chelsea player, saying:

"The only positive thing I can say is that Didier Drogba played well."

Ballack's comment was a testament to Drogba's impressive performance on the pitch, where he scored a goal and created several chances for his teammates. Despite the team's overall poor showing, Drogba's individual display was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal evening for Chelsea.
