Thiago Silva is an absolute legend of Paris Saint-Germain. The Brazilian defender marked the history of the capital club for 9 seasons (2012-2020).
This Monday, the former number 2 and captain of the Red and Blue gave an interview to PSG TV on the occasion of his 40th birthday. The current Fluminense player looked back on his very memorable time in the Parisian capital and revealed his best memories in the red and blue jersey.
” It’s complicated, there were a lot of important moments. My first match at the Parc was obviously special. A Champions League match against Dynamo kyiv. First match and also first goal… It was unique! There was also the first league title after almost 20 years of waiting, with players who were there before, Papus (Zoumana Camara), Sakho, Jallet, Bodmer, Hoarau… Very important players in the history of the club. They are also the ones who prepared the club before we arrived. And then in the big moments, there is obviously my goal in extra time against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2015 which allowed us to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, » he let go.
