Will to win will bag Germany Euro 2008 crown: Ballack

London: German captain Michael Ballack has insisted that their ruthless will to win is why they will be crowned Euro 2008 champions on Sunday.

Germany was lucky to beat Turkey 3-2 in a dramatic semi-final, with only a last-gasp goal against the run of play getting them through.

But though Chelsea star Ballack admits his team is exhausted and emotionally drained after the victory, he reckoned that the German desire is stronger than ever.

He said: “We're happy to be in the final and that’s what counts. You can see what is possible when you have the will to win and we’ll be the same in the final, I’m sure of that."
