In the company of the Porto squad, André Villas-Boas marked a historic milestone: the thousand games as a professional for Thiago Silva. The president of the blues and whites presented the Brazilian international with a commemorative poster and a FC Porto jersey alluding to the feat.

At 41 years old, the experienced defender reached the milestone of a thousand games last Thursday, against Stuttgart, a match in which he started and played the full 90 minutes. Thus, he added his eighth game for the main team of the dragons, adding another chapter to a legendary career.

The club for which he played the most was PSG, with 319 matches, followed by Fluminense, where he stood out at the beginning of his career, before returning to FC Porto in January – 20 years after his first stint. He played 155 games for Chelsea, 119 for Milan, and 30 for Juventude. He also represented the FC Porto B team on 14 occasions.

For the Brazil national team, he has 113 caps, along with eight more for the Olympic team. A brilliant journey, crowned with 31 collective trophies, now enters history with a round and remarkable record: 1000 games.
