Thiago Silva

Thiago Silva is a name that needs no introduction. His career speaks for itself, having played for clubs such as AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea, among others. He played more than 100 games for each of them, was a leading figure in all of them, and won titles in all of them.

In addition to these trophies, he won the Copa America and the Confederations Cup while playing for the Brazilian national team, which he represented more than a hundred times and even captained. Three times nominated for the FIFA Team of the Year - in 2013, 2014, and 2015 - he was voted Best Player at the 2021 Club World Cup and was nominated for FIFA's The Best Award in the Defender of the Year 2025 category, crowning a very positive season at Fluminense, where he played 46 games.
