Thiago Silva makes Champions League history in PSG farewell match

Thiago Silva became the first Brazilian to wear the captain's armband in a Champions League final in his last-ever match for Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.

The centre-back, 35, led his team-mates out at Lisbon's Estadio da Luz in the club's maiden appearance in the fixture, as they seek to overcome Bayern Munich.

PSG have fought past Atalanta and RB Leipzig in August to make the clash, while Bayern eased past Chelsea in the second leg of their last-16 tie at the Allianz Arena before going on to record heavy victories over both Barcelona and Lyon in the days leading up to the final in Portugal.
