Do they join the tributes?
Claudio Pizarro is planning his farewell match with Werder Bremen and it is expected that various world-class athletes will attend. While he will have the presence of former footballers such as Ottmar Hitzfeld or Jupp Heynckes, one of the questions focuses on the Peruvians who will attend the event.
Just after finishing his participation in the Legends of America vs Legends of Europe match, the 'Andes Bomber' referred to the attendees at his event and did not rule out doing something similar in Peru.

"Alianza Lima intends to hold a farewell match for Claudio Pizarro and in the coming days they will contact his environment. The idea is to do it between November and December," they pointed out.
