It’s an emotional day at Stamford Bridge today, with a few potential goodbyes on the cards. None is more important than that for Thiago Silva.

Silva has only been at Chelsea for 4 years, but he’s made a huge impression in that time, and is a true fan favourite. Not only that, there’s also the sense that this is all of European football saying goodbye to a legendary figure of the game of the last ten years.

Fittingly, two brilliant displays have been created for the icon at Stamford Bridge, one at each end.

You can see the displays in the images embedded here:

Let’s go and do Thiago proud on his last day! He’s shown incredible emotion in his recent interviews about how much it’s meant for him to play at Chelsea, and this response from the fans shows they truly appreciate it too. he will be desperate to end his spell here with a clean sheet.
