Thiago Silva personified the emotions of every Chelsea fan on Tuesday by anxiously watching their victory against Borussia Dortmund from the stands at Stamford Bridge.
Graham Potter's side overturned a one-goal deficit in the second leg of their Champions League tie to win 2-1 on aggregate. Raheem Sterling's strike just before half-time got Chelsea back on level terms before Kai Havertz's controversial penalty secured the win.
Silva, 38, is unavailable due to a knee injury and is not tipped to play again until April. He attended Tuesday's game with his wife Belle, who filmed her husband's reaction to the full-time whistle. It was a moment that showed just how much he cares about the club.
In the video, Silva is watching the final moments of Tuesday's tense game from a box at Stamford Bridge. He is standing on his feet and constantly putting his hands on his head while shouting at his team-mates - emulating thousands of fans around the ground.
Then, when the full-time whistle eventually comes, Silva and his wife shout in delight. The veteran defender also holds his arms aloft in celebration and shouts "YES" before shaking hands with a fan. The video is captioned "passamos" - which translates to "we pass".
Belle uploaded her husband's full-time reaction to her Instagram story for her 630,000 followers to witness. She also filmed his reaction throughout the game, with Silva often holding his head in his hands, jumping from his seat and shouting at his team-mates.

Furthermore, Belle spoke to her followers in Portuguese and captioned many of the videos. "I'm laughing, but I'm nervous... maybe someone [Silva] is nervous... man sit more," read some of the captions. She also recorded Silva's reactions to the penalty saga.
"When you get ready to scream and freeze," read the caption to Havertz's first attempt. After the penalty was eventually converted, Silva gave a passionate fist pump but remained relatively reserved. "Now the scream came out," added Belle.
Silva's relief is unsurprising considering Chelsea's difficult campaign. The Blues are 10th in the Premier League table and may need to win this season's Champions League to qualify for next year's edition. They also failed to progress far in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
Potter's relief was also obvious at full-time. He told BBC Radio 5 Live, "It's an important game, it's a special atmosphere. It's a passionate evening. Both sets of supporters contributed to that. Stamford Bridge was rocking and our performance helped that.
"To win a game and go into the last eight of the Champions League, it's up there with one of the games or evenings of my career... I'm really pleased. Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic evening. The players and supporters were tremendous."
Dortmund, meanwhile, will feel aggrieved about Havertz's winner. Marius Wolf was penalised for handball, despite having just a split-second to react to Ben Chilwell's cross. Havertz then missed his initial penalty, but he was allowed a retake due to encroachment.
