Nope, you're correct. He was first choice in 2005 and came into the 2007 starting line-up when Alvaro Arbeloa was injured.

Paolo Maldini, Mohamed Salah, Gaizka Mendieta. What Champions League stat links these three? (The order matters)

What links Michael Ballack, Thierry Henry, Mark van Bommel, Arjen Robben and Dejan Lovren?

Is it that they scored in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd minutes respectively in CL finals?

Unused subs in the World Cup final? I'm sure Robben would have started though...

EDIT - And Lovren.

For the second they've all lost a World Cup and Champions League final?

I'll accept that. They've all lost both finals in the same year.

That's true for all of them bar Robben.

Ballack had a stellar 2002.

Lost the Bundesliga on the final day.
Lost in the DFB Pokal Final.
Lost in the Champions League Final.
Lost in the World Cup Final.

Good questions.

He was in the same Bayern team that lost to Inter in 2010 as Van Bommel

Ballack has lost more finals than anyone hasn't he?

His Wikipedia page doesn't have him down as a runner-up but all the others do.

I looked originally because I assumed they had all played in both matches in the same year.

I would imagine that there are more players than those mentioned that have lost both matches.

I thought that but Maldini, Del Piero and Buffon have all lost 3 and Evra has lost 4.

Ballack has lost five finals.

World Cup, German Cup and Champions League in 2002.
European Championships and Champions League 2002.

I was just counting Champions League finals as that's how I read it for some reason.
