Michael Ballack believes Bayern Munich have an "emotional advantage'' over
Chelsea and has made them favourites to win the Champions League final later
this month.
The showpiece match will be played at the German side's home ground the Allianz
Arena on May 19 and Ballack, who left Bayern to join Chelsea in
the summer of 2006, recognises that is a difficult obstacle to surmount for the
Londoners.
He told German tabloid newspaper Bild: "I think Barcelona would have been the
only team capable of contesting a final abroad and winning it.
"It is a huge advantage when you are at home in a final, where a lot of
emotions play a role. This is an emotional advantage that Chelsea cannot
compensate for.''
Ballack insists, though, that he is entirely neutral, adding: "I have my fingers
crossed for both sides.''
