Thiago Silva got revenge in the Chelsea Champions League on Saturday night, claiming he was always unfairly made the scapegoat for his former club PSG.
What did Thiago Silva say?
Chelsea lifted the European Cup for the second time in its history after beating Man City 1-0 in the all-England final at Estadio do Dragao, thanks to a first half kick from Kai Havertz. Thiago Silva chased out the demons of Paris Saint-Germain’s final defeat against Bayern Munich last season in the process, despite limping injured before the interval, and seized the opportunity to allay his disappointments with the former club after the match. The Blues defender said it was incredible. This is the most important moment in his career and unforgettable. Silva is really very happy. It’s huge to have this cup. About the injury, Silva said that a lot of things happened in his head. According to Thiago, it was difficult for him to leave the game very early, but at this level they cannot be 70 percent, but Thiago is happy because the team remained calm and defended well.
A little about Silva and Chelsea
Chelsea snapped Thiago Silva on a free shuttle after his departure from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, and subsequently became a key member of the lineup under Frank Lampard before reuniting with Thomas Tuchel, who was relieved of his managerial duties at Princes Park in December. Thiago played in eight games during the Blues’ run to the finals, including both legs of their last-four wins over Real, but picked up a knock just before the 40-minute mark at Porto, which saw Andreas Christensen come on as a substitute. Thomas Tuchel’s men regrouped with admiration and made a breakthrough as Kai Havertz rushed to the ransacking pass of Mason Mount before circling Ederson and patting the empty net. Pulisic came close to doubling his tally in the second period, while Riyad Mahrez came close to dying for City with a sweetly shot volley before Chelsea ultimately held out for a narrow but well-deserved victory.
