Alexis Sanchez is still very much a national treasure in his homeland of Chile, and he only increased his lofty status among fans this week, after his side's 4-1 win over Honduras.
A young fan broke down in tears upon sighting the Manchester United striker at Estadio German Becker in Temuco.
Sanchez was joined on the pitch by the young fan, shortly after scoring for the hosts, and after greeting the boy, he invited him into the dressing room at full time.
Once he had consoled the boy, Alexis then presented him with two priceless keepsakes; his match worn shirt and boots.
The forward captured the moment in true modern style; with a selfie, which he uploaded to his social media profile with the capion: 'The innocence of children is one of the most beautiful things'.
