Playing in the World Cup is a dream for every single footballer. The joy of representing your nation cannot be topped by anything else. For the footballers of Peru, it was a pipe dream that finally came true in 2018.
Now, Peru can reach the World Cup in Qatar if they win their Play-off game against either Australia or UAE. The winner of that match would face Peru on June 13th and the winner there will book their spot in the World Cup in Qatar.
Going to the competition would be a huge deal, but former Bayern Munich star Paolo Guerrero has more riding on this than just personal glory.
