WHAT HAPPENED? Injured defender Thiago Silva could only watch on from the stands at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea found a way past a Bundesligatitle-challenging Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie on Tuesday night, but he still made his voice heard. Thiago Silva's wife Belle captured a video on her Instagram of the Brazilian losing his mind after watching Bellingham escape with just a yellow card after sliding through James with Chelsea 2-0 up on the night. Thiago Silva screamed after the tackle: "Son of a b*tch, not my full-back, for the love of God, red card!"

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Bellingham, who plays alongside James for England at international level, had a night to forget as Dortmund were knocked out of the Champions League, despite taking a 1-0 lead into the second leg. He expressed his anger at the referee's decision to award Chelsea the penalty that took them through to the quarter-final after the final whistle, and the decision to award a retake, which Kai Havertz dispatched.

Silva is unlikely to be back for Chelsea in the next round, after sustaining knee ligament damage against Tottenham at the end of February.
