Fans insulted
Why Ballack was booed at the cup final
Before Kaiserslautern and Bayer Leverkusen faced each other in the DFB Cup final on Saturday, Michael Ballack, an ex-player of both teams, was welcomed to Berlin's Olympic Stadium. While some celebrated their former hero, there were whistles from the supporters in the opposite stand.
Background: Ballack, who was given the honor of bringing the trophy onto the pitch, addressed the crowd before kick-off, explaining: "Bayer is the club I played for the longest. I had a great time there. That's why my heart beats for Leverkusen." Not exactly impartial ...
The Kaiserslautern fans were probably of the same opinion, commenting on the 47-year-old's speech with a whistling concert. After all, the former professional midfielder had tied his boots for the "Red Devils" for two years.
Ballack's wish for a double for the "Werkself" came true, Granit Xhaka scored the only goal of the evening in the 17th minute of the game, adding another jewel to the German champions' trophy collection.
