Ex-Chelsea midfielder could not be distracted even by the attractive cabaret dancers

Ibiza. Nightclubs. Good time. Drinks. Friends. Combination of all these things guarantees a great evening out. Throw in a couple of great looking dancers on stage next to you and that should be a perfect scenario.

Well, that is not the case if you ask Michael Ballack - as none of the above-mentioned factors were more important to him last night than his former club battling for the Champions League trophy.

Once one of the best midfielders in the world was spending some time with his friends at a cabaret performance while at the same time, at Dragao Stadium in Porto, Chelsea were in pursuit of their second Champions League title in club history.

All he could think about was the game so he found the way to watch the game while the music and the dancing were blasting around him.

He was glued to his phone to watch his old side and completely ignored two cabaret dancers beside him to focus on the game.

The former Germany captain didn't look up once as the two dancers strutted around, even appearing to comment on the game to a friend beside him.

With Ballack supporting his former club from afar, Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel gave a masterclass to Guardiola's men and lifted the trophy.

The 44-year-old was a Chelsea member between 2006 and 2010 and in that time he managed to win one Premier League, three FA Cups and one League Cup trophy with the Blues.

He was not at Stamford Bridge for long enough to be part of Chelsea's 2011/2012 season and join Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba & Co lift Chelsea's first European cup.

Ballack would have been delighted to see a number of his compatriots lift the big-eared cup - as trio of Kai Havertz, Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner gave memorable performances.

After seven minutes of injury-time passed, Ballack could finally relax and enjoy the party as London Blues celebrated their biggest win in nine years.
