On August 5, the unfortunate news came from Portugal that German legend Michael Barack's second son, Emilio, was killed in a car accident in Portugal at the age of 18.
According to Portuguese media reports, the crash occurred at 2 a.m. local time on Thursday in the Troia area south of Lisbon, and a property that Barack bought a few years ago was near the site of the incident. The cause of the accident is unclear, but police have rushed to the scene to investigate. It is worth mentioning that shortly before the accident, Barack had just had a perfect vacation with his family. Now, Emilio died in a car accident, which is a heavy blow for the 44-year-old Barak and his family.
The 44-year-old former midfielder is considered one of Germany's greatest players of all time. In a 17-year career, he has played for Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern and Chelsea. At the national team level, he made 98 appearances for Germany and was runners-up in the 2002 World Cup final.
Emilio is the daughter of Barak and his former wife, Simon Emilio. Lambe was born in 2002, and while the bad news has yet to be confirmed by Ballack and his family, Chelsea have issued a brief statement expressing their deepest sympathy for the Blues hero. "Everyone associated with Chelsea Football Club is shocked and saddened by the news of the death of Emilio Barak, who is only 18 years old, and at this sad moment, all our hearts are with his father Michael and his family."
