34 years old... happy birthday Claudio Pizarro


Today is a special day for Claudio because is his birthday.

Is rightly considered one of the greatest players in Peruvian history and his country's finest ambassador on the European stage. His major tournament experience may be limited to a trio of Copa America campaigns, but he has still managed to display his gifts on a regular basis, first making a name for himself while at German side Werder Bremen. From there, he joined Bayern Munich and helped the club claim three league crowns and three German Cups, in addition to two League Cup victories. 

Short stays with Chelsea and Bremen followed before he returned to Bayern, where he recently won the German Super Cup and set a new benchmark for Bundesliga appearances by a foreign player.
