The wife of Thiago Silva has heaped praise on Chelsea teammate Timo Werner after their Champions League defeat of Real Madrid.

Werner nodded in Chelsea's first goal in their 2-0 win over Real Madrid, converting from close range after a deft Kai Havertz lob came back off the crossbar.

The Germany forward spurned a glorious chance to score for Chelsea last week and Mrs Silva was quick to vent on her Instagram story about the £53million striker who has endured a tricky first season in England.

But after last night's success, Isabele declared: "Werner, very good! That's what I'm talking about,' the 34-year-old said on her Instagram moments after the first goal. 'You know! You are the best my friend, love you!"
