The 28-year-old is expecting a tough challenge from the reigning Portuguese champions, but is confident about PSG’s chances in the game

Summer arrival from AC Milan, Thiago Silva, is relishing the idea of playing against the 2003/2004 Champions League winners.
While talking to reporters, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 are a world class team with abundance of European experience. Portistas like to play an attacking game and Silva expects them to do the same against the Paris club at Estádio do Dragão.
The 28-year-old added that PSG have complete confidence in their ability and they will go for a win on Wednesday.
"It will be very interesting, Porto are very attacking but we won't only defend.”

''I spent few months here [in Porto] without wearing that jersey, but it remains special to me. Porto are the favourites, especially at home in front of their fans,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fluminense-c39366 player added.
When asked about his personal form and fitness, Silva said the he is getting back to his personal best and added that he has recovered from the injury he sustained during the London Olympics.

“It doesn't prevent us looking for a win. Personally, I'm getting close to my best physical condition after being injured during Olympics."
