After Mason Mount converted Chelsea’s 836th chance of the night to give them a 2-0 lead against Real Madrid, the TV director cut to the touchline and two men in a joyous embrace: Thiago Silva and Thomas Tuchel had just secured themselves a place in a second Champions League final in two years.
Last time around, as captain and manager of PSG, they suffered a painful defeat to Bayern Munich. But fate is a funny thing and here they are again, on a new train but one with the same final destination. This time, who knows?
Silva was of course brought to Chelsea by Frank Lampard after he had been rejected at PSG – not by Tuchel, but by the hierarchy who believed him too old to merit a new contract. Bar a disastrous debut against West Brom, Silva has excelled, first under Lampard and even more perhaps since his old boss’ arrival at his new workplace.
