Speaking after Bayern Munich's 0-1 loss to Benfica on June 25, Ballack criticized midfielder Leroy Sane and coach Vincent Kompany. Ballack said that a player who has reached an agreement to move to another club should not continue playing for Bayern.
"His performance was a huge disappointment," said Ballack. "Leroy lacked concentration, character and seriousness in handling situations on the pitch."
In this match, coach Kompany made many changes to the starting lineup, but Sane still played the full 90 minutes. However, the German star played below expectations. This made Ballack feel dissatisfied, especially when witnessing Sane's ineffectiveness in converting opportunities into goals.
Previously, Sane decided to leave Bayern Munich to seek a new challenge at Galatasaray from the 2025/26 season. The Bundesliga champions agreed to let the German player leave as a free agent.
Despite playing 222 games for Bayern, scoring 61 goals and providing 55 assists, Sane failed to convince Ballack. The German legend believes that these numbers do not reflect Sane's true ability.
"Why did they let Leroy play the whole game when he had so little influence on the game? Leroy had the chance and a lot of time to shine, but he didn't do his job well. Kompany's changes didn't work," Ballack analyzed.
Bayern will face Flamengo on June 30 in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
