His goals were not ordinary, as he boasts a wide range of finishes, from bicycle kicks and freekicks and even a chested goal.
But the prolific goalscorer did something unheard of in the 1988/89 season while wearing the colours of Real Madrid.
Sanchez managed to register 38 goals in La Liga that campaign.
But that's not what's remarkable - the fact that he scored every single one of those goals via a first-touch finish.
From bicycle kicks to free-kicks and headers, Sanchez did the impossible as he scored all of them with just a single touch.
This is a record both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will be jealous of. Of course, the Portuguese captain holds the record for most goals scored in a single La Liga season - 48 goals in 2014/15.
