CHELSEA ace David Luiz proposed to his long-term girlfriend Sara Madeira with an extravagant silver fireworks and lights display.
The Brazilian defender is known for his flair and showmanship on the pitch - and showed he acts equally as creative in his personal life as well.

The 31-year-old, who first met the Portuguese dentist during his time at Benfica as a teenager, went down on one knee to ask Madeira to marry him - and she said yes.
The clip was shared to Instagram by video-sharing app Otro, who captioned the post: "We hear wedding bells! David Luiz proposed in emphatic style. Congrats guys!"
Hours after the announcement, Luiz was pictured alone as he watched Chelsea Women's team in their game against his former side, Paris Saint-Germain.
The Blues star had been able to celebrate with his fiancée, 28, this week after he was left out of Brazil's squad for their friendlies against Panama and the Czech Republic.
Luiz denies he is a virgin
In 2015, Luiz was plagued by reports that he was waiting until he is married before having sex for the first time due to his devout Christianity.
The Brazil international hit back at the reports at the time by revealing that although he has been dating Madeira for several years, he has also had multiple relationships.
He told the BBC's Football Focus: "People are saying things everywhere about whether I'm a virgin or not. I'm not a virgin. I've had more than one girlfriend in my life."
Luiz revealed earlier this month that he is also using Didier Drogba's former personal trainer to ensure he is fit for the climax to Chelsea's season.
The Brazil international has already made over twice as many appearances this term as he did during the whole of the 2017-18 campaign.
A knee problem and a tempestuous relationship with former boss Antonio Conte saw him restricted to just 17 outings.
Sergio Aguero's red card challenge on the 31-year-old in a Premier League clash in December 2016 dogged Luiz for two years.
