Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has jumped to support underfire PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel's job is under threat today after last night's Champions League defeat to RB Leipzig.

Thiago Silva told RMC: "Sometimes things happen in Paris that we don't understand. I do not know what to say. It's unfortunate for the coach, to whom I am very close. I keep texting him sometimes because he's an amazing guy but he's not having a good time.

"I think they will qualify because it's a very good team with very responsible players.

"It's a team that works very well. It was difficult to leave. They will continue to work to qualify for the round of 16. When you get to the Champions League final, you can't go out in the group stage the following year. I think of the boys and I think they will have a good game at the Parc and take the three points to be calmer."
