Thiago Silva comes to heartbreaking realisation as Real Madrid defeat crushes Chelsea dream

Thiago Silva has admitted that he might not have the chance to play in the Champions League again following Chelsea's defeat to Real Madrid. Despite the Blues' best efforts, Carlo Ancelotti's side secured a place in the semi-final with a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

With the west Londoners dumped out of the tournament, it is unlikely that Chelsea will compete in the Champions League next season unless Frank Lampard can ignite a late – and ambitious – push for the top four. The Blues are currently eleventh in the Premier League and sit 17 points behind Newcastle, who have a game in hand.

As quoted by Beanyman Sports following Chelsea's defeat to the Spanish giants, Silva claimed that he may never play in the prestigious competition ever again. The veteran defender sees his contract in west London expire at the end of next season.
