"It will be an exciting game. It will be the game of the year," said Ibrahimovic, who has scored eight goals for Barca in 13 appearances since a swap deal that saw Samuel Eto'o go to Inter. Ibrahimovic hasn't played in over three weeks due to a hamstring problem but he wants to play on Sunday.u00a0 "You want to play these big games, they remain in the history," he said. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Real's Cristiano Ronaldo said: "We respect our opponent but to me there are no favorites. We're going to give our best and try to win."
