“When PSG lost, people were looking for a culprit”: Thiago Silva, nostalgic revenge

He took the time to answer. To choose his words. But also to sort out all the conflicting emotions that crossed his mind. After so many years of failure, after so much trauma, after so much mockery, Thiago Silva has succeeded in his quest. That of winning the Champions League by being the defensive leader of a group that aimed for the stars. But, if he said he was deeply happy to win this C1 with Chelsea, the Brazilian could not help but talk about PSG.

Left free last summer after a high-level Final 8, but a final lost, the “Monstro” has never hidden that he would have liked to extend the adventure in Paris. Leonardo and his policy towards the thirties decided the opposite. Nine months after the bitterness of Lisbon, Thiago Silva let burst a relief while restraining in Porto. “It’s incredible, the most important moment of my career, it’s unforgettable. I am really very happy, he explained to the microphone of RMC Sports in the preamble before taking a break and to engage. But it’s also a time to be grateful for everything Paris has done for me. We didn’t manage to win with Paris but I’m very happy to have this Cup“.

This outcome, at 36, he would have liked to experience it in other colors. But the vagaries of life, and of a career marked with the seal of professionalism, took him elsewhere. Nevertheless, finally touching the Grail at his age, after so many years of chasing after him, was a personal accomplishment of which he was proud. “It’s true that it’s special, especially with all the pressure I had at PSG to win this cup, he continued. Whenever PSG was eliminated, people wanted to find a culprit. Normally it was always me. It’s a shame because I did everything for this team, I tried to give everything but, unfortunately, I did not manage to bring back this cup for Paris. I hope it will happen because I left a lot of friends there. I’ll always stay red and blue“.

Still, his final almost looked like immense frustration. Hit just before half-time (39th), the Brazilian had to give up his own, after having tried the blow. But the pain, too sharp, got the better of his hopes. It is stunned by the fate of a fate that we thought had been written in advance that he left his teammates, his head buried in his jersey. “A lot has happened in my head, he explained. Getting out of a game like that so early on was very difficult for me. At this level, we cannot be at 70%, we have to be at 100%. I couldn’t go on like this. But I’m happy because the team remained calm, we defended well, we suffered a lot but against this City team, we have to do that“.
