Alexis Sanchez says that playing in front of Arsenal fans at Emirates Stadium will make Chile’s clash with Brazil even more special.
The Emirates will host a prestigious international friendly on Sunday, March 29 (kick off 3pm) and Arsenal members will receive exclusive first rights on purchasing tickets.
Brazil won the last meeting at the 2014 World Cup and Alexis is looking forward to a rematch ahead of this summer’s Copa America in Chile.
"For me to play this game at Emirates Stadium will make the match even more special"
“I’m so excited and honoured to be playing for the national team of Chile, against our great rivals Brazil, in front of the incredible Arsenal fans at Emirates Stadium,” Alexis said.
“I also look forward to playing against my good friend Neymar and welcoming him and the rest of the Brazil team to Emirates Stadium in March.
“Matches between Brazil and Chile are always exciting encounters, and for me, to play this game at Emirates Stadium will make the match even more special.
