Goosebumps, tears and great emotions at the Pizarro farewell
GOODBYE FRIEND!
Claudio Pizarro (43) has finally left the big football stage. His farewell game, which was postponed by two years due to Corona, was a gala of football love. 40,500 fans, professionals and celebrities bowed to the Bundesliga legend in Bremen.

Pizarro, the oldest goalscorer in league history at 40 years and 227 days, played in all three teams. For Werder with legends like Wiese, Ailton and Micoud. For Bayern with giants like Robben, Sergio, Elber and Gomez.
In “Claudio Amigos” Max Kruse and TV favorite Joko Winterscheidt (“Goosebumps that I’m allowed to be here”) kicked. Kruse at Sat1 about his future: “Let’s see if a club will let me. I’m definitely still up for it.” Suitable for the evening: Pizarro scored the first goal (against Tim Wiese).
Storm legend Ailton (106 Bundesliga goals) scored for Werder
Mario Gomez: “First he was my idol, then my team-mate. He’s the only player I’ve ever asked for a shirt.”
The Peruvian has stormed 490 times in the Bundesliga and scored 197 goals. In his 21 years, “Pizza” played five stages for Werder (320 appearances) and two for Bayern (including a treble in 2013).
Someone who knows him will tell… Unusual Nagelsmann suspicion!

Torsten Frings on the secret of darling Pizarro: “He always beamed, regardless of whether we won 5-0 or lost 5-0.” Kugelblitz Ailton: “Whenever I had trouble with my wife, I called him to frustrate him to get rid of and get advice.”
Too bad: Mats Hummels and Per Mertesacker had to cancel. Philipp Lahm (“Unfortunately I’m not fit”) came as a spectator.
