Butragueno: Real Madrid won't underestimate APOEL

Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno says they won't underestimate Champions League quarterfinal opponents APOEL.

Despite facing the competition's underdogs in the next round, Real director Butragueno is not prepared to write off APOEL.
 "We have to be extremely respectful," he told Sky Sports.

"Of course on paper there were stronger teams that Apoel, but it is the quarter-finals and they are a very strong team."

Butragueno also refused to address the prospect of a Real-Barcelona final.

"The final is too far ahead," he said. "We have to be very focused on the next game and try to reach the semi-finals."

"That will be a difficult tie according to the draw. After that, if we are lucky enough to reach the final then we'll think about it."
