Thiago Silva was on fire once more in Chelsea's win over Lille.
The Blues defender put on another masterclass in his team's 2-0 home win over Lille, giving them a commanding lead in the Champions League last-16 tie.
Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic both scored in the first leg of the game.
Silva shone in the middle of the back three, assisting the team in keeping a clean sheet. Under manager Thomas Tuchel, not conceding has become a common occurrence, particularly in European matches.
Silva, who was making his 30th appearance of the season, was a reliable presence.
According to statisticians OptaJoe, Silva's performance last night broke a personal record.
The Brazilian centre-half won possession from Lille 12 times during the game, the most in a Champions League game for him.
He has 94 appearances in Europe's top club competition with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and AC Milan.
