DBasia.news – Despite having just joinedInter Milan, Alexis Sanchez has set a high target in the Champions League: beating Barcelona.
Inter, for the second time in a row for two seasons, are united with Barcelona in the Hell group, Group F, with Borussia Dortmund and Slavia Prague.
Sanchez, a former Barcelona striker in mid 2011-2014, is quite optimistic that Inter directed by Antonio Conte can beat Ernesto Valverde’s team. Moreover, the experience of playing as striker from Chile in Barcelona can be useful in later matches.
“Playing against Barcelona is always a special opportunity. I have a great time there, a good teammate. The game will be a little challenging and we have to trust our group. We have players to beat Barcelona and we will fight,” he stated as quoted from Sport-English.
Sanchez won a LaLiga, Copa del Rey and European Super Cup title in Barcelona. The 30-year-old player arrived at Inter on loan without a purchase option from Manchester United. Although only one season playing at Inter, Sanchez believes he can give the title to his new club.
“I have the same desire to succeed. I like to play and I see myself compatible with Inter. I want to win something and we have to fight for it with the teammates. That’s what makes you win, unite. If we can do it, we can win a lot more things, “added Sanchez.
The Champions League group’s first match against Barcelona will take place at Camp Nou on October 3, 2019 at 2:00 a.m. WIB. While the second leg at the Giusseppe Meazza will be held on November 19 or December 2019 at 3:00 AM.
