"Who knows" - Thiago Silva shares heartbreaking message after Brazil are knocked out of the FIFA World Cup

Thiago Silva, a defender for Brazil, has expressed his sadness at not being able to lead the Selecao to a FIFA World Cup victory. Prior to the competition, Brazil was seen as one of the favorites to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. In their first competition games, they most definitely lived up to the title.

As Group G's victor, Selecao guaranteed their spot in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16. After defeating South Korea 4-1 in the round of 16, they then advanced to the quarterfinals of the competition.

Brazil's 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign thus came to a heartbreaking end, with several players left in tears on the pitch. Silva was among those who were devastated after the game.

The Chelsea  centre-back remains one of the best players in his position, but is 38 years old. The disappointment in Qatar means that Silva will have to end his playing career without a FIFA World Cup trophy.

Speaking after the game on Friday, Silva admitted that this was his last opportunity to get his hands on the prestigious trophy. The veteran, though, is hopeful that he will still be able to win the competition in some other role in the future. He told BeIN Sports [via football.london]:
