Sanchez arrived in Italy as an unproven youngster from Chile, but found his feet alongside Di Natale in a menacing strike partnership.

Their partnership was on show when Udinese smashed Palermo 7-0 in 2011. Sanchez bagged himself four goals, while Di Natale scored the other three.

25. Luis Suarez & Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)

Having already struck up a strike partnership and become a nearly man with Ajax, Suarez had done it again at Liverpool with Sturridge.

The Reds should have won the Premier League in 2013/14 and we all know why they didn't. But don't let that detract from the fact that the SAS (Suarez and Sturridge) were ripping teams apart for fun. So close.
