PSG captain Thiago Silva admits he treasures his time with AC Milan.

Thiago Silva played 119 times for Milan across three seasons.

“The most beautiful moment of my career? My arrival at Milan," the Brazilian told Globo Esporte.

“They were a team who I could only admire on TV. I loved their players, then suddenly I found myself in a dressing room with them: Nesta, Maldini, Pirlo, Seedorf, Inzaghi... in short, the whole team. Kaka, the colony of Brazilians, Pato himself…

“When I was a child I had the dream of playing in Europe in a big way, and I did that. I was so excited when I arrived at Milanello. It was Pato who showed me around, taking me around the training centre and dressing rooms to do the first medical tests.

“I kept looking around like a child. I looked at the photos of the stars and champions of the past. That day marked me as a player.

“I owe everything to Leonardo, who made a great effort at the time for me to wear the Rossonero jersey."
