Chelsea’s first win in this season’s Champions League came against AC Milan at Stamford Bridge, when the west London club sealed a 3-0 win on Wednesday.
Wesley Fofana opened the scoring for the Blues in the first half and was followed by two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reece James in the second half.
The latest victory over the Serie A winners has kept Chelsea’s hopes of progressing to the knockout stages of the competition.
Graham Potter’s side are second in the table with four points after three games, level on points with third place Milan. These two sides are behind RB Leipzig by a point.
Thiago Silva suggests yesterday’s result may have not gone in Chelsea’s favour had Rafael Leão found the back of the net before the break, and has used this as an example to send a message to his teammates when they face Milan at the San Siro next week.
“Then it all depends, if Leão scores that goal there at the end of the first half it changes the game completely. I always tell my players: there are many games in a match. If he had scored at that moment, the second half would have been a different game.”
“It was important not to suffer that goal. Then in the second half we played well and Milan struggled a bit, but Tuesday will be another match.”
The Brazilian was also asked about his former Chelsea teammate, Fikayo Tomori, who is now at Milan.
“I don’t like making comparisons… Everyone has their own qualities, they play very well,” the Blues star explained.
“I know Tomori more, when I arrived here he was there. He tried to go away to try new experiences. I am happy for last year’s Scudetto, I hope Milan can repeat themselves this year but on Tuesday we want to win again.”
