THIAGO SILVA was able to revel in Chelsea’s Champions League glory despite a cruel injury that knocked him out of the final.

A groin injury in the first half on Saturday night threatened to lead to a second straight year of heartbreak for the 36-year-old.

But Kai Havertz’s goal meant he was finally able to add competition to his sprawling trophy cabinet.

Silva said RMC: «It is the most important moment of my career, it is unforgettable.

“But it is also a time to acknowledge everything that Paris has done for me, but we couldn’t win it.”

“I am very happy and I hope that Paris can arrive soon.”

Last season, the Brazilian ended a very successful season with Paris Saint-Germain by losing the Champions League final to Bayern Munich.

And he admitted feeling like a scapegoat after the French team’s failures in the competition.

And he added: “Every time PSG was eliminated, people tried to find a culprit and it was always me.

“It’s a shame, I really gave it my all.”

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was in charge of PSG for the 2020 final and met Silva in West London.

But it was Frank Lampard who led the center back to Stamford Bridge and the club legend received special praise after the victory.

Silva pointed out: “We do not always understand everything that is happening, but it is written by God.

«Tuchel changed everything, the mentality of the team. But it is also important to talk about Lampard.

“Without him, winning here would have been difficult, thanks to him for letting me sign here.”
