"It was even hard to get it [the goal] on the day. I was very happy to be able to get in an important game like this and help in the qualification," Emerson told Brazil's Sportv.
"It was a really cool moment even because of the reaction of my teammates. Jorginho had said that I was going to score a goal, and Thiago Silva had told him that if I did, he would throw himself off the stands.
"When the counter attack occurs, Thiago goes down the stairs, follows the move, and when the goal comes out, it’s an explosion of joy for everyone. It was a really cool moment."
Speaking about Chelsea's next opponents Porto, Emerson says: "Porto are a great team in Europe. They eliminated Juventus and gave Manchester City some work in the group stage. It’s a team that scores a lot.
"They didn’t make it to the Champions League quarterfinals for nothing. So, we’ll prepare ourselves in the best way and try to maintain our style of play. Let’s go with everything.
"That’s what Chelsea will do, regardless of the opponent, but knowing that on the other side they have a team of many defensive and offensive qualities."
Emerson scored a late goal to seal Chelsea's entry into the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League against Atletico Madrid last Wednesday.
While he thankfully did not throw himself off the stands, Thiago Silva's reaction to the Italian's goal was nonetheless epic.
The Blues will now face FC Porto in the next round in April while they also booked a Wembley FA Cup clash with Manchester City at the weekend.
