Thiago Silva confirms Chelsea's leave with an emotional message to fans.

Thiago Silva has declared, with tears in his eyes, that he will leave Chelsea in the summer, bringing his four-year spell at Stamford Bridge to an end.

South American joined the Blues in 2020.
Has won the Champions League while in England.
Expected to return home at 39 years of age.

After his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired, the talented Brazilian defender joined the Blues as a free agent in 2020. He has been working on short-term contracts since then, but there will be no extension in 2024.

Silva, 39, is anticipated to return home after previously indicating that he wants to complete his career at Fluminense, where it all began. That decision will be made after creating many unforgettable memories in west London, with the South American giving an emotional message to Chelsea fans.

Silva stated on the club's official website: "Chelsea means a lot to me. I came here with the aim of remaining for a year, but it ended up being four years. Not only for me, but for my entire family. My boys play for Chelsea, therefore I'm really proud to be a part of the Chelsea family - literally because my sons are here. I hope they can continue their careers at this successful club, which many players want to be a part of. I believe I gave my all to all I accomplished here during the past four years. Unfortunately, everything has a beginning, middle, and end. That does not imply that this is the end.

I hope to keep the door open so that I can return in the near future, but in a different job here. But it's an indescribable love. I can just say "thank you."

"Obviously, when I first started here, it was during the pandemic, so there were no fans in the stadium." But it became something very precious to me thanks to social media, and as the people returned to the stadium and life resumed normalcy, I began to feel a lot of affection and admiration for my narrative and my beginning here. Saying goodbye is difficult enough under normal circumstances, but when there is mutual love, it becomes even more difficult. But one Blue is always a Blue. The manner in which I arrived at the club with the help of the club.

I arrived at the club as a leader, despite the fact that I did not feel like one. It's always difficult to integrate, but I gradually became a member of the group, and (Frank) Lampard had a significant role in this. I am thankful to him for it. [It was] obviously a dream. I never imagined I'd be able to achieve such greatness and win one of the top professional trophies, the Champions League, at one of the world's most prestigious teams. Goodbyes are for people who depart and do not return. I plan on returning one day..."

Canada's confident performance led to a historic away victory over the USA.

On Saturday, two North American rivals met, and Canada defeated the United States 2-1. One team was still riding high off their fourth-place result at Copa América 2024, while the other was a blend of young talent attempting to discover their identity under an interim coach. With such a significant contrast in confidence, the visiting Canucks defeated the Stars and Stripes on their home turf for only the second time in history. Canada dominated the first half, with 11 shots to one, and the first of two blunders resulted in the opening goal. A turnover gave the ball to Jonathan David, who sent it wide to Jacob Shaffelburg. The 'Maritime Messi' blasted with his left foot into the far right corner, beyond goalkeeper Patrick Schulte. 23 - Canada defeats the United States Men's National Team on American territory for the second time, and the first since 1957. The victory stops the USMNT's 23-game home unbeaten streak against Canada, the longest against any opponent in team h...
