GermanyCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Michael Ballack is a German former professional footballer who is now a football agent. He was selected by Pelé as one of FIFA's 100 Greatest Living Players, and as the UEFA Club Midfielder of the Year in 2002. He won the German Footballer of the Year award three times – in 2002, 2003 and 2005. Ballack was known for his passing range, powerful shot, strength and commanding presence in midfield. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
21 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2000–2008The archive holds 21 team sheets naming Michael Ballack in Germany's starting line-up, from 2000-06-20 to 2008-06-29.
21 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
