Thiago Silva happy with Milan’s Champions League progress: “Sempre forza Milan”

Thiago Silva has revealed his delight as his former club AC Milan secured a place in the semi-finals of the Champions League last night.

It was back in 2009 that Silva moved to Milan and he won the Scudetto in 2010-11, forming a brilliant pairing with Alessandro Nesta, but in 2012 he left the Rossoneri and joined Paris Saint-Germain in a deal widely reported to be worth over €40m.

In 2020, he signed for Chelsea on a free transfer and won the UEFA Champions League in his first season at the club. However, the Blues are not having as good a season in 2022-23 and they were knocked out by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the competition last night.

Thiago Silva spoke to SportMediaset after the game at Stamford Bridge and was asked about what Milan’s qualification for the Champions League semi-finals means to him, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.

“I’m happy for them, it’s been a long time since Milan played in the Champions League and they’re doing very well. Now let’s see if we can it will be a Milan derby in the semi-final, it would be important for the city of Milan, but sempre forza Milan. Unfortunately I can’t be 100% happy because we were eliminated. But I’m happy for Milan,” he said.
