Arsenal's ace scored the opening goal for La Roja against Germany, good enough to surpass Marcelo Salas in the all-time strikers' list.

Chilean striker Alexis Sánchez had a rendezvous with history, and he showed up just in time.

Arsenal's top gun became La Roja's all-time top scorer with his opening goal against Germany. The Chilean striker netted his 38th all-time goal with the South American champions thanks to Germany's confused stance at the back, which handed the ball to Sánchez on a silver platter.

The Chilean ace surpassed legends such as Marcelo Salas and Iván Zamorano to reach the top of the table, while some of his team-mates such as Eduardo Vargas and Arturo Vidal follow him closely and are already included in La Roja's all-time top scorers' list.

Here's how La Roja broke the news to the world.

His milestone was celebrated by Arsenal as well, even if he's still negotiating to have his deal with the Gunners extended.
