Thiago Silva made his name in European football at AC Milan, and he explained before the game tonight that returning to San Siro would be a big moment for him.
He delivered a world-class performance, and as he walked off the whole time the crowd gave him an ovation that showed how much he meant to them.
Unfortunately for him, the stadium was 4/5ths empty at that point. Just imagine what a roar he would have gotten from a capacity crowd. Just like Chelsea fans, they know what a gem he is.
