Paraguay s Lucas Barrios has mixed feelings about playing Chile in Tuesday s World Cup qualifying fixture.
The Borussia Dortmund striker is uncertain how he will react as he prepares to return to the country which propelled him to stardom.
Argentina-born Barrios played six years in Chile with three different clubs, but it was his spell with Santiago giants Colo Colo which made him an international-class player.
Barrios scored 53 goals in just 56 games for the club before moving to Germany in July 2009.
Speaking on Monday, the 27-year-old said he had a great deal of affection for Chilean football, but that he was 100 per cent committed to Paraguay.
The love that I have for Chile is enormous, because playing there opened doors for me in my career, Barrios said.
In that moment (if he scores) we will see what is going through my head. Even if I score or we win, my feelings are not going to change, Barrios told Triunfo.
What I experienced in Colo Colo was amazing. I have a special affection for the club and it is where I want to retire.
Barrios will be reunited with former Colo Colo coach Claudio Borghi in Santiago s Estadio Nacional, as Chile attempt to put Friday s 4-0 thrashing by Uruguay behind them.
