Thiago Silva was on the pitch for the full 120 minutes of the Europa League quarter-final tie against Nottingham Forest, a match that ended in FC Porto’s elimination. Following the 1-0 defeat last Thursday, the Brazilian centre-back posted a message on social media, thanking Porto’s fans for their support:
“It is a pleasure to be part of a team that fills us with pride even in elimination. It is sad, and we know that! But we have to move forward because life goes on. On Sunday we have another final, and we are counting on all of you at our home. I would like to thank everyone who took the time to come and support us. See you on Sunday at the Dragão.”
Since arriving as a winter signing, Thiago Silva has taken on an important role in FC Porto’s defensive rotation, having already made 10 appearances, four of them in the Europa League.
