Thiago Silva Sparks Fan Backlash with AC Milan Tribute Amid PSG Tensions
Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva has come under fire from the club’s supporters after posting a tribute to former club AC Milan on Instagram — a move many fans have interpreted as a veiled provocation during an already fragile moment for the French champions.
The Brazilian defender shared a photo of himself wearing Milan’s famous red and black shirt, alongside the caption:
“115 years of tradition and a beautiful history… Proud to have worn this jersey one day in my career.”
While seemingly innocuous, the post has not gone down well with sections of the PSG fanbase, who have grown increasingly frustrated with Silva’s perceived emotional distance from the club. Many supporters believe the veteran centre-back, who left Milan for Paris in 2012, still holds stronger emotional ties to the Italian giants than to PSG.
The reaction has been swift on social media, with fans accusing their captain of lacking commitment and failing to show leadership during a delicate period for the club.
Tensions have been simmering in the capital. PSG’s performances have been inconsistent, and head coach Laurent Blanc is reportedly losing the confidence of both his players and the club’s hierarchy. In that context, Silva’s tribute — however nostalgic — has added fuel to a fire that is already burning.
While the club has not officially commented on the controversy, the atmosphere around PSG is growing increasingly volatile. Once again, questions are being raised about team unity, leadership within the dressing room, and the commitment of key figures during a difficult campaign.
With expectations high and the Champions League knockout rounds looming, PSG’s internal harmony is under serious scrutiny — and their captain’s loyalty is now being openly questioned.
