Leao Butrón, goalkeeper of Alianza Lima, considers that the FIFA ranking, in which Peru achieved a historic 15th place on Thursday, "is a huge lie".

After losing against Independiente de Avellaneda in the Copa Sudamericana, the goalkeeper spoke about this and the match against Universitario on Saturday for the second matchday of the Torneo Apertura 2017.
"The FIFA ranking is a huge lie, I don't know how it works, but it's a big lie. They publish it as if it were useful for qualifying for the World Cup. We have to take it easy because it places us above top-level teams," said the goalkeeper on RPP.
About the Peruvian football classic, in which Universitario will not have several of its players because they are with the Peruvian national team, Butrón indicated that 'U' has an important squad to fight for the championship.
"It will be a close match, but we can't repeat the terrible performance we had in the Torneo de Verano, not because of the score, but because of what we failed to do that day."
