Thiago Silva has expressed that he's 'living the dream' at Chelsea and is enjoying life in his second season at Stamford Bridge.
The 37-year-old joined the club in the summer of 2020 in what has proved to be a fruitful relationship with the Blues winning three trophies in that time.
Silva played a vital part in the team that won the Champions League last season with their 1-0 victory over Manchester City.
Though he is nearing the end of his career, Silva is still a dominant force at the heart of the defence and therefore has built a great rapport with Chelsea supporters.
Following Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Lille on Tuesday night, Silva had a lot of positive things to say about his time at the club.
He told TNT Sports Brasil: 'I feel like I'm living a dream here at Chelsea.
'I wasn't expecting something like that. The fans are always singing my name. It's magic, it's a dream.
'I'm really proud to play here for Chelsea and their supporters.'
Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic both netted to guide the Blues to victory over the Lille in the first-leg of the last-16 tie.
Thomas Tuchel's side kept a clean sheet in the match with Silva being dominant throughout shutting down attacks from Jonathan David and Jonathan Bamba at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian international helped play a part in history as the Blues are now the first English team in history to win five consecutive home matches without conceding a goal in Europe.
Silva could add a fourth medal to his collection at Chelsea on Sunday, when they play Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

Jonathan Bamba wanted to Bamba last night but Thiago Silva stopped him from doing that... Thiago is just like a Traffic warder, he stops whichever car that's coming he's way .. Legend

Thiago Silva, you have really been an humble, appreciative, effective and excellent player at Chelsea, that's why God π is lifting you up from one glory to glory at the peak of your career at Chelsea. I've been able to see God's glory in Kante and you through your humble character. Some players are usually destiny to be in a team together at a given time for God's favor even though they are not the best player playing their wings in the world at that particular period. God said, I will show kindness to anyone I choose, and I will show mercy to anyone I choose. It is not by force nor by strength or silk of the players but by the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. Victory and trophies ππππβοΈπβοΈ will continue to come to CHELSEA, Amen, Amen & Amen.
