The whole country hopes that Guerrero scores and provides an assist, like that one time when he brought down Funes Mori to score the temporary equalizer 1-1. It was on October 6, 2016, also at the Estadio Nacional in Lima.
The first time that "PG9" faced the Albiceleste was in the 2007 Copa America. That time (July 9th), Peru lost 4-0. Our forward started the match, but at 55' coach Julio Cesar Uribe replaced him with Pedro Garcia.
The second time was during the qualification process for Brazil 2014. On September 1, 2012, the Bicolor drew 1-1 and Paolo came on as a substitute at 87' for "Cachito" Ramirez. Sergio Makarian was the coach.
The other two matches of the 39-year-old forward were during the qualification process for Russia 2018. The Peruvian captain played in the 2-2 draw in Lima and also in the 0-0 draw at La Bombonera.
