Chelsea missed multiple opportunities to score during their recent game. Nicolas Jackson was unable to convert a one-on-one chance against Stefan Ortega in the first half, and Ortega successfully blocked him twice in the second half. Additionally, Ortega saved a shot from Cole Palmer. Thiago Silva displayed strong emotions during the match, tearing up as he walked around the pitch and applauded the Chelsea supporters.

Some fans speculated that his emotional reaction was due to the realization that this could be his last chance to play in a final for Chelsea, as his contract is set to expire in June and his future at the club is uncertain. Despite the disappointment, Silva expressed pride in the team’s performance, acknowledging that while Chelsea may have been the better team, the outcome of a football match is difficult to measure and the ability to be clinical and not concede is crucial. He emphasized the importance of taking positives from the game and using them to improve. Chelsea currently sits ninth in the table with 47 points and seven games remaining.
