A little bit of both. I look forward to it because on paper, it's a showcase of two of the best teams in Europe featuring some great footballers. But the same old story is becoming tiresome. Barcelona diving (Spanish football summed up) and always trying to influence the referee. Madrid setting themselves up (partly Mourinho's fault) to tarnish the occasion. When Madrid start the game to win and take the lead, they play fast fluent football and at times, Barcelona can't cope because they aren't about defending. When the tide turns and it's Barcelona on the attack, Madrid resort to strict defending and tough tackling.
Both teams are as bad as each other and it's sadly becoming a showcase of poor sportsmanship.
