Chelsea defender Thiago Silva hopes to face Milan in the Champions League next season but admits it was sad to see Juventus’ Brazilian players lose against the Rossoneri.
The Brazilian defender spent three seasons and a half at Milan before moving to PSG in 2012.
He’s never faced the Rossoneri since but hopes to do it next season.
“I’ve been thinking about this moment since I left Milan, I’ve been thinking about Milan’s Champions League qualification every year,” the 36-year-old told Sky Sport Italia.
“This season we are close. I saw the game against Juventus. I was a bit sad for Juventus’ Brazilian players: Danilo, Alex Sandro, Arthur. Even Gigi [Buffon], we played together in Paris.
“But Milan played a great game and deserved to win, I think they deserve to qualify for the Champions League. They’ve had a great season and they deserve it for what they’ve done in six-seven months.
“I am still a Milan fan, I hope I can face Milan and return to San Siro, which is a special stadium for me.”

Just a pity he came to Bridge this old... yet still, it seems he's still young... Even if Chelsea won nothing this year, he will still be a legend...
