Leao Butrón Gotuzzo (born 6 March 1977 in Miraflores) is a Peruvian former footballer who last played as a goalkeeper in the Torneo Descentralizado for Alianza Lima. He has made more appearances in the Torneo Descentralizado than any other player - with 643 for Alianza Lima, Sporting Cristal, Alianza Atlético, Melgar and University of San Martín de Porres. He also played 39 times for the Peru national team.[1]
Career
On 5 March 2020, the eve of his 43rd birthday, Butrón started for Alianza Lima in a 2020 Copa Libertadores group stage match against Uruguayan side Nacional, which led the EFE news network to wrongly claim that he was the oldest goalkeeper in the competition's history; however, the true holder of this record is Luis Galarza, who had played in 1995 at the age of 44.[2] Later that year, on 21 October, he played his last match in the Copa Libertadores, a 2–0 loss to Nacional, becoming, at the age of 43 years and 7 months, the third oldest player in the history of the Copa Libertadores, only behind José Nieto (43y and 11m in 1999) and Galarza (44 in 1995).[3]
