Sevilla-Barcelona: reunion with Alexis Sánchez at the Pizjuán

Alexis Sánchez will meet FC Barcelona again in the match between Sevilla and the Azulgrana team on matchday 8 of LaLiga EA Sports. The Chilean forward, who wore the Barça shirt for three seasons, left an unforgettable memory in the hearts of Barcelona fans for his commitment, his talent and, above all, for a historic goal against Real Madrid in October 2013.

During his time as a Barça player (2011-2014), the player from Tocopilla played 141 official matches, scored 47 goals and won six titles, including a League title, a Copa del Rey and a Club World Cup. A remarkable journey for a footballer who arrived from Udinese as one of the great promises of South American football.

Alexis's Stunning Goal Against Madrid: The Unforgettable Memory of an Eternal Goal

On October 26, 2013, Alexis scored one of the most memorable goals in Barça's recent history. Against Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, he stopped time with a masterful chip over Diego López after a sublime cutback on Varane. That action was celebrated as a technical and emotional gem, a goal that Barça fans still evoke with pride today.

The player himself described that goal as "historic," aware that his name would be forever linked to one of the most memorable Clásicos of the post-Messi era. It was also the definitive consecration of the Chilean striker on the international stage.

Alexis, key player in the new Sevilla

At 36 years old, the former Barça player is experiencing a second youth in the Andalusian capital. After his time at Arsenal, Manchester United, and Inter Milan, he has returned to LaLiga to reinforce the new Sevilla project led by Matías Almeyda. His impact has been immediate: one goal, one assist, and the feeling of being one of the leaders in the locker room.

His experience and competitive nature have made Alexis one of the most outstanding players for Sevilla FC, which is looking to return to the European places. His versatility and attacking instinct continue to be a valuable resource for Almeyda, especially in high-demand matches like the one coming up against Barça.

The Sevilla - FC Barcelona match will therefore be more than just a league game. It will be the reunion between a former footballer who marked an era and a fan base that will never forget his dedication or his eternal goal.
