Thiago Silva was honored with a personalized Chelsea shirt following his side's 2–0 defeat to Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final.
The touching gesture came as a tribute to the veteran defender’s four standout years at Stamford Bridge, during which he made 155 appearances and helped the club clinch major honors, including the UEFA Champions League.
Now back at Fluminense, his boyhood club, Silva looked visibly moved as members of the Chelsea staff presented him with the No. 6 jersey emblazoned with his name. The moment captured the mutual respect and enduring bond between the Brazilian icon and the London club, despite their positions on opposing sides of the pitch.
João Pedro emerged as the star of the match, scoring both goals to send Chelsea into the final, where they’ll face either Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain.
