Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez shares video of himself as an old man for Confederations Cup advert

Alexis Sanchez has found a creative new way to promote his national team Chile's involvement in the Confederations Cup - as the Arsenal player stars as an elderly man in a new advert.

Sanchez shared the advert on his Instagram showing him donned in prosthetics to resemble an old man as he plays a child's grandfather.

The unrecognisable Sanchez is asked by the child for help with a school project and proceeds to tell him about the time he and Chile's golden generation won the Confederations Cup.
