The Bundesliga has paid tribute to Peruvian veteran striker Claudio Pizarro by sharing a video featuring the best 20 goals scored by the Inca player at the German tournament.

Titled "Pizarro: 20 years, 20 goals," the video even compares the player with the main character of American film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." The movie is about a man —born with the body of an 80-year-old— who becomes young over time.  

It must be noted the "Andean Bomber" managed to strike a goal for his team FC Köln last weekend. In so doing, the sportsman set a new record of scoring at least one goal —consecutively— in each Bundesliga season. 

Pizarro joined the German league in 1999, thus defending soccer team Werder Bremen. Later, he played for Bayern Munich, and —currently— the athlete defends club FC Köln (Cologne)

As is known, the 39-year-old is the top foreign striker in Bundesliga's history.
