David Luiz doesn't regret leaving Chelsea for Paris Saint-Germain this past summer.

PSG has struggled to take control of Ligue 1, while Chelsea already has a five-point lead atop the Premier League table.

“I made my choice and I’m happy with my choice,” said Luiz. “I’m happy to see my friends at Chelsea playing very well, and I’m happy to be here.

“They’ve been doing very well for many, many years. It’s important to finish well, not just the beginning.”

David Luiz says that the club had sought to retain his services for longer.

“Chelsea offered me a new contract to stay but it was my choice to come here,” he said. “I was happy with the plan PSG offered to me and I think it was exactly the right moment to move. I was so happy at Chelsea – I won two titles, I won another title for the FA Cup, so it was great for me.

“I’m a lucky guy. I was playing for a big club in Chelsea and now I’ve got another opportunity to play for a big club.”
