Chelsea legend's son spotted as Stamford Bridge ballboy during Champions League clash against Benfica

Chelsea could have a family dynasty on their hands after one of their legend's sons was spotted as a ballboy on Tuesday night.

The Blues picked up their first Champions League win of the season as they beat Benfica 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Jose Mourinho's homecoming.

And one of the ballboys was a rising academy star who can call one of the greatest defenders of recent history his father.

The 16-year-old, who plays for the club's under-18s, was photographed on duty for the match.

We are, of course, talking about Isago da Silva, the eldest son of Thiago Silva, who spent four years at the club between 2020 and 2024 and won the Champions League.
