He came out injured in the 38th minute from the lawn of the Dragon stadium, but whatever.
Thiago Silva finally won the Champions League on Saturday night with Chelsea, after the final against Manchester City in the final in Porto (1-0).
“I could not continue, recognized the Brazilian defender.
In a match of this level, you have to be at 110% and I was only at 70%.
"
Silva quickly had a thought for his former club from 2012 to 2020. “With all the pressure I had at PSG to win this cup, people were looking for a culprit.
Each time it was me, it's a shame, I gave everything for the club, ”he said at the microphone of the RMC channel.
"I will always be Red and Blue"
"I hope they will have it [the C1], I will always be Red and Blue," however added the 36-year-old, an unfortunate finalist last year with Paris against Bayern Munich.
For Silva, this European coronation is "the most important moment of [his] career": "It's unforgettable, I'm very happy, it's also the moment to be grateful for everything that has been done. Paris for me ”.
This European triumph, Chelsea and Silva owe a lot to Thomas Tuchel, his coach at PSG from 2018 to 2020, sacked by the Parisian club last December and quickly revived by Chelsea.
"We do not sometimes understand what is happening in our lives," said Thiago the fatalist.
"He changed everything, the mentality of the team," he explained about Tuchel, before paying tribute to Franck Lampard, the previous coach of the "Blues".
