AC Milan fullback Ignazio Abate is happy for Thiago Silva over PSG's success against Chelsea.

Former Milan pair Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic featured in the match.

Abate said: "I'm very happy about his [Thiago's] goal. He's a champion, and he deserves it as a person because he's a great professional and very dedicated to his work.

"We saw yesterday that he held the defense together single-handedly until the end.

"They deserved it, and I feel sorry for Zlatan because it was not a red card worthy foul, and I know how much he cares."
