Thiago Silva was furious after Jude Bellingham's tackle on Reece James in Chelsea vs Dortmund clash (Photos)

Thiago Silva attacked Jude Bellingham from the sidelines during Chelsea's success over Dortmund on Tuesday night after his crunching tackle on Reece James - calling him a 'child of a b****'.

With a comeback victory that saw them beat the German side 2-0 and advance to the Champions League quarterfinals, the Blues continued to ease the pressure on Graham Potter. The injured Silva watched the game from the stands.

However, the Brazilian became enraged after witnessing England star Bellingham make a risky tackle on James toward the end of the game. He then launched into an expletive-laden tirade and demanded that the Dortmund player be sent off.

Belle Silva, Silva's wife, shot the video. Belle has been vocal at many Chelsea games over the past few seasons, and as she watched with her husband in what appeared to be an executive box, she also looked animated.

After the team's struggles in the league in January, she took a swipe at her husband's teammates, stating that the team needed "a Silva in attack and midfield" to improve.

During the match at Stamford Bridge, James and Silva both played the full 90 minutes. Silva played a storming game down the right flank to propel Chelsea forward and help them overcome their 1-0 first-leg deficit.

On the other hand, Bellingham did not have the best game for Dortmund. The youngster, who had been linked to Liverpool and Manchester City, missed two great chances to bring Dortmund back into the match and didn't play his best.

After the game, the 19-year-old made the decision to criticize the officials for allowing Havertz to retake his penalty for an encroachment.

Due to his ongoing recovery from a knee ligament injury, Silva had to miss the game. When his injury was first confirmed on February 28, he was given a timetable of approximately six weeks. The Blues, who have struggled defensively this season and could benefit from his experience in their backline, were dealt a blow by this.
