Claudio Pizarro (yes still him), is now the oldest scorer in the Bundesliga

In a football where you run more, play more, spend more and where attachment to the shirt is increasingly a mirage there are still those “veteran” players or perhaps “Elderly” who still manage to cope despite their age.
If for Italian football Francesco Totti and Gigi Buffon certainly represent the last players to quit well over the age of 40 and at very high levels, even in the other major European leagues there are “old men” who still stand out . [/ Vc_column_text] [/ vc_column ] [/ vc_row]

In the match played in Berlin against Hertha, at the age of 40 years and 136 days, Pizarro directly from a free kick bagged the goal that earned Werder Bremen the equalizer in the 96th minute. A goal that, however, marked the history of the Bundes and that places the Peruvian among the oldest scorers in the league. And this record is achieved by those who scored galore goals in Germany during their long professional career, as well as having won everything during the seasons at Bayern Munich and the German Cup with Werder in 2009.

SERIE A: BILLY COSTACURTA OR SVEND HANSEN
On so many statistical data and Alessandro Costacurta the elderly man to have scored a goal in Serie A. The former Milan defender on 19 May 2007 at 41 years and 25 days in the 57th minute of the game scores the momentary 2-2 penalty kick against Udinese , in what was the last match of his career in front of the San Siro audience.
However, if we take a dip in the 1950s, precisely in the 1950/51 season, the Danish midfielder of Atalanta, Svend Hansen, on 29 April 1951 scores the goal of the momentary 2-1 for the Goddess at the venerable age of 44 years and 282 days. That championship was won by Milan with another Scandinavian as protagonist: the Swedish goalscorer Nordahl who, in that season, scored 34 goals.

PREMIER LEAGUE: TEDDY SHERINGHAM
Sheringham is one of the players who has played the most games in the history of English football
There is no doubt, however, in the English league. At the age of 40 years and 262 days and the former Manchester United striker to hold this special record. In the last season in the Premier League, when the number 10 wore the shirt ofWest Ham United, Sheringham scores the 2-1 goal against Portsmouth on Boxing day 2006.

LIGUE 1: BENJAMIN NIVET
In France and Troyes midfielder Benjamin Nivet, the 41-year-old 116-day old goalscorer. Born in 1977, the transalpine is still in the formation of the small French city even if in Ligue 2. His last scoring in the top league dates back to April 28, 2018 when he scored his second goal against Caen, in the match that ended 3-1 . For him, captain and number 10 of the team, a special goal not only for his age but also for his technical gesture : a heel shot worthy of the best playmakers in football history.
But watch out for Buffon!

LIGA: DONATO
The Brazilian Donato was one of the defenders with the most appearances in Deportivo
To find the senior goalscorer in the Spanish league we have to take a leap of almost sixteen years. The Brazilian defender of Deportivo La Coruna Donato Gama da Silva, better known as Donato, scores the goal of the longest-lived footballer in La Liga history at 40 years and 137 days. The goal was scored on 17 May 2003 in the match between Deportivo – Valencia, which ended 2-1 for the Taronja. [/ Vc_column_text] [/ vc_column] [/ vc_row]
