Much has been made about Gerard Pique facing a potential reunion with Manchester United after Barcelona's name was paired with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Reds in the Champions League quarter-final draw.
However, the same can be said about Alexis Sanchez, who will, no doubt, be busting a gut in a bid to be back from a knee injury ahead of schedule to take on his former club.
Solskjaer recently suggested he hoped the Chilean could return to action around the time of the Everton game in the Premier League on 21 April, but the trip to Spain comes earlier that week, with the second leg between the two clubs taking place at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona beat a host of clubs to the signature of the South American in the summer of 2011 and he spent three years in La Liga, until joining Arsenal.
He played well over 100 times with Lionel Messi and was signed by current Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, before going on to play under Tito Vilanova and Gerardo Martino.
Alexis scored 47 times in total for the Catalan outfit and also supplied 35 assists as he was part of a vibrant attacking unit. In his first season, he helped the team win the UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and the Copa del Rey and, the following year, they dominated in La Liga, winning the title with 100 points on the board.
He made 24 appearances in the Champions League for Barcelona and contributed three goals, while notching an impressive 19 league goals in his final season at the club.
The 30-year-old was spotted attending a game at the Nou Camp against Rayo Vallecano earlier this month as he continues his rehabilitation from injury.
"It wasn’t easy to leave Barcelona," he said in 2016. I fulfilled a dream when I moved there – to play in Spain and for the champions – but very few players stay in the same club all their life. To leave is normal.
"I wanted a new project, a new experience. And with so many attacking players at Barca it was a good choice to go."
Alexis has already come up against his ex-employers in the competition before, setting up a goal on his old patch.
In the last 16 of the Champions League in 2016, he was part of the Arsenal team beaten 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium before a 3-1 reverse at the Camp Nou. Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all scored for the Catalan giants, with Mohamed Elneny netting for the visitors from an Alexis pass.
The forward will be keen to get back to fitness soon in order to have an outside chance of playing at the great arena once again, particularly after scoring against another of his former sides, Arsenal, on their home turf, already this season.
