to take their Champions League round of 16 tie
with Napoli lightly as the Serie A side have what it
takes to trouble the titleholders.
Madrid were paired with Napoli after finishing
second in their group behind Borussia Dortmund
and Butragueno has warned Maurizio Sarri's men are a force to be reckoned with.
"Napoli have a very good coach and have improved
a lot in recent years. They will be very difficult
opponents," Butragueno told reporters.
"We know that the Italian teams compete very well.
They are used to withstanding pressure, playing
tight and they play very well in these situations.
We have to be very careful because it is sure that
they will be a very dangerous opponent.
"For them it will be an extraordinary motivation to
come up against Real Madrid.
"We are going to have the first game at home and
we have to get a good result. The second leg is
away and we know what the atmosphere will be
like in their stadium.
"At home we have to be very solid, get a good
result to take us to the draw for the quarter-final."
