Chelsea defender Thiago Silva is determined to win a first Club World Cup.
Thiago Silva is set to start Saturday's final against Palmeiras in Abu Dhabi.
"I have had big disappointments in my career and that was definitely one of them," said Thiago to the club's website.
"It was a dream of all the club's supporters to win that title. It was the same story for me at Paris, that was a big disappointment losing to Bayern. But that's football. You have to keep working to find it, and after I arrived in London, in my first year I brought the Champions League home. It was very important for me.
"I always have a dream I want to achieve. I realised the dream of winning the Champions League. Now I have the dream of winning the Club World Cup, and after the dream of winning the World Cup in Qatar.
"It's my first time playing in the Club World Cup," continues Thiago.
"Not only in Brazil but in all South America, it's a very exciting and important competition. For the people in Europe it's not the most important cup, but for me, like the good Brazilian I am, it's magnificent to play in this competition."
