Yes we are.. We lucky to have him.. We're lucky to have all the players whose staying focused and committed through these hard times. Proud to be Blues.

[@trakval1919]

It's insane how this guy is close to his 40s and is still arguably one the best defenders in the world

[@ajmalsafi13]

He is just overdoing it. Unbelievable.

[@ctrlaltdeligt]

Arguably? He is the best CB in the world this season no doubts

[@WhyAlwaysMeOfficial]

This man has been here less than 2 years and is already a legend, and he has a bigger legacy here than at PSG for 8 years.

[@subhrajyotiroy3855]

Living Legend of this Sport. And I'm happy that people have now started to give him the deserved praises which were long due.

[@dheerajmurthy393]

Unfortunately many still don't

[@rarefootball10]

You gave our defenders the exposure and experience they needed. Just look at Christensen, RUDIGER, Chalobah, and Zouma. They all improved under Silva's mentorship. It is always a pleasure watching Thiago play. Calm but aggressive defending.

[@philipquist771]

Comment is so underrated. He made so many of our defenders step up

[@geniozeqo229]

Of course thiago got mentored in Italy by the best defender nesta

[@infamouscfc793]

Zuoma improved his free kick technique

[@okijitope7960]

Wished we signed him 10 years ago!!! What a player! What a Legend. Imagine JT AND Thiago Silva together on a team. 25 clean-sheet a season Guaranteed!!!

[@fransiscusfalm1782]

And also Cavarlho

[@barry4649]

One of the best defenders in football history, and how fitting that he finally won the Champions League at 36 at the stadium where he played when he was at the start of his career and went through his biggest adversity, legend

[@user-pw4js4ph9y]

What a player he is, very grateful we get to have him for a couple of years, aging like fine wine and loved by every chelsea fan!💙

[@scsutton1]

I'm just imagining him alongside prime John Terry. What a formidable partnership that would have been.

[@fransiscusfalm1782]

And also Cavarlho.. Imagine that..

@@FlowersForYourGrave but with TT's new formation having 3 defenders I would also add Desailly too. bruh imagine the pain the oppositions' attack that would be facing. Tears

[@jaycfc3909]

Thiago Silva is already a Chelsea legend. One of the best signings we've ever made. 37 years old and he's pretty much the best defender in the league. He deserves these trophies.

[@JIMIZINHOo]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone have this much universal admiration from the Chelsea fans from day one. Truly is one of a kind, we really are lucky to have him here 💙

[@adryanmoore1128]

i played the back 4 my whole life and i get the most excited when "slow" calm collected defenders make plays. My favorite chelsea defender since Terry!

[@carl1415]

I never thought the calmness & stoicness of JT could ever be repeated at this club. Silva proved me wrong. I’m forever a fan! I know he’s right up there in age, but I hope he continues to last at the top level as he already has proven. What a player!

[@nicolassantos04_]

I'm a Brazilian Thiago Silva fan that follow his career since its almost start, I grew up hearing his life story. I'm so happy that he finally conquered titles that he deserved (and still deserving) a long time ago with my favorite team Chelsea 💙

[@fernandotorres-gl7we]

i hope he understands and knows how much we Chelsea fans love him. sometimes words are not enough and it is definitely not enough to show our love to this beautiful human being.

[@davidtawse6765]

My favourite Chelsea player (Kante a close 2nd, Havertz 3rd) mentality wise he gives me John Terry vibes, you'd think he's been at Chelsea his whole career. Arrived in his mid 30s and adapted to the PL so fast, he's been the best centre back in the PL this season for me. Already Chelsea legend, was made up for him that he finally got his UCL winners medal with us.

[@rayner417]

One of this era best defenders. And a world class guy. Been watching him since ac milan days. Well done Thiago

[@talalvibes4587]

What a man! I was watching him since he was with AC Milan, glad to have him on our side.

[@Mo-fd9ri]

What a player! We are lucky to have him. Absolutely leader and warrior. 💙

A perfect gentleman...absolute legend...our club is lucky to have him ....each word he says comes from his heart...how he loves the fans,the motivation..💙💙💙💙

[@comeonnngg648]

Never seen anyone at that age make a bigger impact at Chelsea than Thiago. What a signing, maybe our best yet! Just that presence of an OG, is enough for us to go to the next level.

[@dhiensaprudhin9980]

Really love him. what a man, what a leader, he is humble and hard working keep Fighting mate 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesdoultremont8422]

One of the best defenders out there, so proud to have him in our squad. He bleeds blue on and off the pitch what a pleasure. Everyone got emotional watching this video I'm sure.

[@mhdrizwan8401]

One of the greatest defenders of the 2000s. So glad that he is still playing.

[@soccerisabritishword6585]

The Legend! Couldn't wait to sing that chant when I heard we signed him. On a FREE! No one speaks about how our whole defensive unit began to improve with his arrival. It wasn't complete until Tuchel came in, but the other defenders could only learn from him being in the dressing room. Thank you, Thiago!

[@RelaxingSounds-nz7fl]

The bloke is so likeable and what a player. I had my doubts about his age when he first signed but to come into the Premier league and play like he has is amazing 👏 🎵 oh thiago silva 🎵

[@panashegatsi5707]

Even when I'm watching at home on the TV I can't help it sometimes and I join in on the "oh thiago Silva". He's won so many fans hearts in such a short space of time.

[@4bigface]

Always knew he was a world class defender back from his early Milan days. We should've had him from then. Never did I think he'd come to England & especially to us. Even though his in the latter stages of his career, his achieved alot for us. For me, if he win any more trophys he'll definitely cement a legendary status at the club.
