	Claudio Pizarro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Claudio Pizarro (born October 3, 1978 in Lima) is a Peruvian football (soccer) striker, who currently plays for Bayern Munich.
		Prior to joining Bayern, Pizarro was with Deportivo Pesquero Chimbote (1996-97), Alianza Lima (1997-99), and Werder Bremen (1999-01).
		In a match versus Arsenal on February 22, 2005 Pizarro scored two magnificent goals in Bayern Munich's 3-1 victory in the first leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League.

		Claudio Pizarro kisses the ball, smiles and stretches his arms to the sky - his way of celebrating another goal.
		Pizarro is the 15th Peruvian currently earning a living as a professional footballer away from his homeland.
		Claudio has become used to being the centre of attraction and is well aware of the expectations that are being built up around him.

		Having made a reputation for himself as a free-scoring striker in his native Peru, Claudio Pizarro has continued to be prolific in front of goal since moving to Europe.
		Pizarro has often struggled to translate his impressive club form on to the international stage in terms of goals.
		Much expectation was placed on Pizarro's shoulders in summer 2002 but he was more than capable of living up to the pressure, claiming 14 league goals as the club clinched the Bundesliga title and then added another in the German Cup final victory against 1.

		Pizarro is very much a man for the spectacular finish and two of his most sensational efforts - against Wolfsburg and Schalke earlier this year - must be in contention for Goal of the Season.
		The snag for Schaaf and Werder fans is that Pizarro, the son of an Italian mother and Peruvian father, is unlikely to be at the club next season.
		He failed to score in their first 12 games and despite claiming he has not had many chances to get his teeth into and that jet-lag from frequent Atlantic crossings has handicapped him, he knows only too well thathis international career is on the line.
