Lazio and former Italy keeper Angelo Peruzzi announced he had played his final match after a 0-0 draw with AS Roma on Sunday.

"That's it. This Roma-Lazio match was my last match," 37-year-old Peruzzi told Italy's Sky television at the end of the Rome derby.

Peruzzi played 31 times for Italy's national team and was Gianluigi Buffon's reserve throughout last year's victorious World Cup campaign.

"I don't believe I will play the remaining matches this season. I've already had to have an injection three times in one of my fingers because of a fracture. I can't continue with them," Peruzzi said.

Peruzzi, who made his Serie A debut for Roma in 1987, went on to play for Verona, Juventus and Inter Milan before arriving at Lazio at the start of the 2000-01 season.

The years he spent at Juventus between 1991 and 1998 were the most successful of his career.

With the Turin giants he won three Serie A titles, the 1993 UEFA Cup and the 1996 Champions League final, in which Juventus beat Ajax on penalties.
