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 MartÃÂn de Porres. He also played 39 times for the Peru national team.
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. Later that year, on 21 October, he played his last match in the Copa Libertadores, a 2âÂÂ0 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).
