After the match, Thiago celebrated his return to Tricolor and highlighted the emotion of defending the club where he began his career once again.

— Very grateful for this third spell with the team I love. We think we can plan our future, and things go off track. But the most important thing is that they always come back to the place where I was very happy.

The defender’s return comes after the end of his spell at Porto. Signed by Fluminense through the end of 2026, Thiago Silva will strengthen the squad for the rest of the season, with the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Libertadores still ahead.
