Thiago Silva: I hope AC Milan win the derby

PSG defender Thiago Silva has urged his former side, AC Milan, to go on and win the derby with Inter on Sunday.

The 30-year-old Brazilian spent three seasons with the Rossoneri and having played in the fixture, knows exactly how important it is.

“The derby is always an important thing, especially Milan v Inter,” he told Fox Sport.

“Two good teams, so it is always difficult. It’s ‘bad’ to lose a game this this, especially for Milan, because Serie A is hard.

“They [Milan] started the season well, but has stuttered recently. However, Milan is always Milan.

“I understand [Adriano] Galliani, I understand the guys, and I hope they get the win.

“I would love to go back and watch a derby sometime.”
