All eyes are on Barcelona’s 31-year-old goalkeeper, Claudio Bravo. The veteran is set to become Chile’s most capped player on Tuesday night. The possibility of smashing the record of legend Leonel Sanchez, who wore the Chilean national team’s colours from 1955 to 1968, is something Bravo is excited about.
On Twitter, the Barca goalie’s profile picture is the number 84, referring to his current amount of caps for his country. “I’m coming for you!” are words he tweeted last weekend as he equalled Leonel Sanchez’s record against El Tri of Mexico.
On Sunday, he tweeted an image of his shirt, saying:
“It's an honor, a privilege, a tremendous satisfaction to wear this shirt. Thank you very much for being there! *** 85”

The Chileans played out an intense goalless draw against Miguel Herrera’s Mexico last Saturday. They will be hoping to hit the back of the net against minnows Haiti at the Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The Haitians are poised to stumble again, having failed to win 10 of their last 11 matches. They seat in 117th place, according to FIFA.
Chile, meanwhile, are fifth in the CONMEBOL zone. They occupy the 12th position in the FIFA World Ranking. They will be hosting the 2015 Copa America, hoping to triumph on home soil after impressing at the World Cup in Brazil this year.
