"A wonderful feeling to be in the final again, and hopefully this time we can try and win it," added Silva, whose team lost the Champions League final to Chelsea two years ago.
"We were very resilient, we very passionate and organised at the same time. I'm so, so happy with that performance.""I'm small, but I'm good with my head!," he laughed."They look very strong, very organised defensively and quick on the counter-attack," Silva said of the Italian side.Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal was gracious in defeat.
