Alexis moved to Italian Club Udinese in 2006 where he was a young and upcoming prospect looking to make a name for himself in the Serie A. He had great games and was a regular at the club. But it wasn't the best of spells for the young Chilean.
He was loaned out twice two Colo-Colo and River Plate where he thrived. Even tho he wasn't always on the score sheet. He was destroying defences with his lighting pace and skills.
He went back to Udinese for a second spell and it was undeniably his best spell at the club. A beast that tore up the Serie A that season. Among his best spells yet. And that caught a certain club from Spain's eyes.
Barcelona. Alexis made it. He got a club that was big and was finally going to show everybody why he deserved the move.
But as Sanchez was trying to make it in injuries plauged his first season. But Alexis is a fighter. He doesn't give up. So he came back from injury. He wanted to show Barca fans he's worth the 26m. He can do it on the big stage.
And so he's first goal came against Villareal in the first matchweek of La Liga. But got stretched off v Sociedad.
Chapter 2
THE SUCCESS
2012/13. Sanchez proves his haters wrong. Largely overlooked by Barca fans. Sanchez was out to prove his haters wrong. Scoring in both games vs Real Madrid proving his worth. But was in Messi's shadow. He felt unimportant at the club and wanted a move away

His first two years at the club was great. But it was the 2016/17 season that he flourished and cemented himself as a world class player. A joy to watch. Arsenal fans fell in love with him. Arguably Alexis best campaign ever.
17/18 he was class. Banking Arsenal out of situations forming a partnership with Ozil and Lacazette and he was loving life. But then it all changed.
Chapter 3 and 4
THE DOWNFALL AND COMEBACK
Alexis moved to Man United. Utd fans expectations were high. He had his moments but never fit in at Utd. And the club loaned him out to Inter. Where he rejuvenated his career under Antonio Conte.
