Even at 41 years old, Thiago Silva doesn't seem to have had enough of European football. During Porto's 2-1 victory in Stuttgart today, he set a record. He is now the oldest outfield player to have ever appeared in the Europa League. 

Until now, he was familiar with the Champions League "only" through his stints at Milan, PSG, and Chelsea.

He only joined the Portuguese team in the winter and still seems to hope for participation in the World Cup. Depending on how far Porto's international journey goes, Carlo Ancelotti might get in touch with him soon.
