Chelsea star spotted celebrating wildly in Stamford Bridge stands during win over Borussia Dortmund

Thiago Silva is known to be one of Chelsea’s biggest fans when he is not able to be on the pitch playing.

He is unfortunately out injured and missed Chelsea’s important second leg Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge last night. He was however, up in the stands supporting like everyone else.

And as seen in the below video, Silva was going through the emotions at the end of the game as Chelsea saw out a 2-0 win to go through to the quarter finals of the competition!

The Blues pulled off a well-deserved 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, turning the tie around having lost the first leg 1-0 away from home three weeks ago. Graham Potter’s side marched on to the quarter-finals and relieved significant pressure on their under-fire manager, who reportedly needed to progress to the last eight of the competition to avoid being sacked.

Revelling in Chelsea’s second victory in four days, following a narrow 1-0 win against Leeds on Saturday, the club’s Twitter admin mocked losers Dortmund after an incident in the first leg. When the Bundesliga title chasers took a second-half lead through Karim Adeyemi, a home fan is said to have thrown a pint of beer towards the press box which poured over reporters’ laptops.

“Sorry for the delay, admin’s just been hit by a pint from above,” a post from Chelsea’s official account read. Following up the tweet after Tuesday’s triumph, they cheekily wrote: “Anyone for a beer?”

The jibe has received more than 21,000 likes, with Blues supporters enjoying a rare moment of celebration in what’s largely been a wretched season. Goals from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz – courtesy of a controversial penalty retake after missing his first effort – either side of half-time saw Chelsea reach the quarter-finals, as their turnaround showed the kind of character that Potter was desperate see.

“The players were tremendous and the supporters were tremendous,” the Blues boss hailed. “We had to be against a team that were doing so well. Over the two games I felt that we deserved to go through.

First-half goalscorer Sterling added: “It was a massive performance. We had to dig deep. We took our chances. We felt as a team we could do it. I had a little mis-kick with the first touch but it landed perfectly and allowed us to build on that for our performance.”

Havertz, who was allowed to retake his penalty after VAR spotted a Dortmund player encroaching the 18-yard box, admitted: “The last two weeks were hard, we lost a lot of games. Tonight was important this is a big tournament and it’s the last trophy that we can win. We showed character and that we want to keep going.”
