“In Europe for 10 years. I’m currently spending two years in Malmö, playing the Champions League, the Europa League, winning a league, a cup. I’m fighting to win the second division and so far this year I’ve absolutely played.” “I’m the only player in my team to have started every game. Warm hugs friend, see you in Peru when you go to support the team,” Peña said.
