The Manchester United forward fired his country into the last four by netting the winning penalty in a shootout against Colombia on Saturday.
Sanchez has endured a torrid past 18 months since deciding to leave Arsenal to join United, but is experiencing a mini revival in Chile colours.
The 30-year-old has been the standout performer for his country at this summer's Copa America and is the joint top scorer in the competition with two goals.
Sanchez was quick to hit out at his doubters on social media after Saturday's crucial victory.
He posted a photo of him celebrating without a shirt after his goal set Chile up for a Copa America semi-finals clash against Peru and wrote: 'They profited, they healed, they talked 's**t about me. And I stayed quiet.
'They slandered, they even locked in on me, but there is a judge up above (there is one up there).'
His words were quoted lyrics from Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Farruko's song 'Delincuente'.
