UCL: Madrid president and Butragueno say Osimhen makes Napoli a dangerous opponent

Emilio Butragueno, CEO of Real Madrid, cautions that Napoli is “a very dangerous opponent,” particularly because of Victor Osimhen.

In Group C of the UEFA Champions League’s group stage, Los Blancos will compete against the Scudetto champions.

The two teams in the group are Union Berlin of the Bundesliga and Sporting Braga.

We must be very cautious since Napoli has players with tremendous talent, making them a very dangerous opponent.

“Yes, (Osimhen and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia) are fantastic players, but they are Napoli players,” Butragueno said to reporters in the mixed zone.

As Napoli advanced to the quarterfinals last year, Osimhen scored five goals in support.

The Nigerian international led all scorers with 26 goals from 32 appearances in Serie A last year.
