This home Chelsea F.C. shirt was likely worn by Thiago Silva on April 27, 2024, when Chelsea F.C. played Aston Villa at Villa Park in Birmingham. 

Chelsea’s defense, led by the legendary Thiago Silva, looked shaky in the first half against a determined Aston Villa side. Trailing 2-0 at halftime, Chelsea tightened up defensively in the second half and managed to level the score at 2-2. However, a controversial VAR decision denied them a full comeback. Despite this, Chelsea was content with earning a point against a strong Aston Villa team. At 39, Thiago Silva continued to showcase his class, finishing the season as Chelsea’s oldest outfield player.
