Thiago Silva was visibly emotional following Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City on Saturday, April 20.

Despite playing the full 90 minutes in the intense match, the Brazilian veteran defender missed out on the opportunity to lift another trophy, leading to tears on the pitch.

Speculation grew about his potential exit from Stamford Bridge as TV cameras captured his emotional moment.

The camera also captured the moment Jeremy Doku from Manchester City tried to console the legendary defender, but Silva’s disappointment was too overwhelming.

Meanwhile, fans on the X platform have shared their thoughts on Thiago’s emotional reaction.

One wrote: “I am heartbroken. Thiago Silva deserves a better ending to his Chelsea career.”

A second posted: “Thiago Silva crying stop.”

A third shared: “Thiago Silva we let you down for 3 seasons.”

A fourth pleaded: “Thiago Silva stay one more season please.”

Thiago Silva’s contract is set to expire in June and it seems unlikely that the 39-year-old will stay with Chelsea.

It is unclear if Chelsea will initiate talks for a new contract and this perhaps, explains why Silva was emotional after the defeat, signaling that this season could be his final one at Chelsea.

Supporting this notion is Silva’s partner, Belle, who dropped a strong hint on social media that his future may not be in the Premier League.

Belle posted a picture of herself with a scarf featuring Silva’s name at Wembley, with the caption suggesting that it could be their last time at the stadium.

Belle raised the scarf alongside the caption: ”It [is] the last dance on [sic] Wembley.”

Despite his emotions in the capital indicating otherwise, Silva took to X to share a message with Chelsea fans following the defeat.

The Brazilian wrote: “It is hard to put into words the emotions I am feeling right now.”

“We are truly sorry that we couldn’t make it, but we gave it our all on the field. I am proud of this team. Thank you to all of you for always standing by us.”

Chelsea fans were outraged to see Noni Madueke laughing

Meanwhile, Chelsea supporters came across a bizarre video on the internet that featured Thiago Silva in tears following Mauricio Pochettino’s team’s 1-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final.

In the background of the clip, fans were outraged to see Noni Madueke laughing with Jack Grealish of Manchester City.

The outrageous fans couldn’t hold back their anger as they sent a harsh message to Madueke.

One of them called for his exit, writing: “Hope you’re sold.”

Another added: “Chelsea players are an embarrassment! That showed in the last game fighting over the penalty taker! Bunch of kids.”

The third one said: “Noni just don’t care about football. Man is a content creator and he’s using Chelsea for his content.”

Thiago Silva’s contribution to Chelsea

Silva started his journey at Chelsea on a one-year deal in August 2020 under Frank Lampard but quickly became a crucial player leading him to commit to a long-term future with the club.

He achieved great success by winning the Champions League in 2021, as well as the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup, and helped Chelsea reach four more finals.

In his time at the club, Thiago Silva has played in a total of 149 matches across all competitions, scoring 9 goals and providing 3 assists.

Thiago Silva’s next move

There’s speculation that Thiago Silva will leave Chelsea this summer.

Despite the rumors swirling around Thiago Silva’s potential departure from Chelsea, fans can remain hopeful that the star defender might choose to stay with the club for another season.

His experience and leadership have been invaluable to the team, and it would be a huge boost for Chelsea to have him back in the lineup.

Let’s stay positive and trust that Silva will make the decision that is best for both him and the club.
