Ballack could call time on Chelsea stint if they fail again in Champions League

Michael Ballack could be on the lookout for a new club at the end of the season if Chelsea fail to win any major trophies. Ballack has won two FA Cups and a League Cup since joining the Blues from Bayern Munich in 2006. But the German, who signed a new one-year deal in the summer, is desperate to add the Premier League and Champions League to his collection. 'What is important for me is winning titles and that's why I also want to play in a team that is hungry for success,' the 33-year-old told the Evening Standard. 'I signed an extension just recently and I hope that I will continue to be successful in the future. Any decisions I have in the future, though, will be made after due consideration and I will discuss everything with the club and with my family. 'At my age you think in shorter time frames and I am already playing for one of the best clubs in the world. I'm very much at home in London and I can imagine seeing out my career at Chelsea. 'It's very important for us this year to win the Premier League again after a three-year wait. We want to take England by storm but winning the Champions League is a big personal aim of mine.' Ballack won't be involved in the Champions League clash at Apoel Nicosia on Wednesday after being left behind in London to concentrate on getting match fit to play Liverpool on Sunday following a calf problem.
