La excelencia de los jugadores y la de los profesionales que se encargan de llevar el espectáculo más grande del mundo a los ojos y oídos de las masas que quieren disfrutar de él, van de la mano. La historia ha beneficiado más a unos que a otros, y en la constante lucha que ha sido el ganarse el prestigio este deporte, en la actualidad se encuentra dos grandes nombres: Barcelona y Real Madrid. Esta rivalidad se ha globalizado tal como cualquier gran marca comercial o estrella musical. El seguimiento masificado que surge alrededor de esta vieja lucha de poderes, crea una distribución binomial entre ambos, que es casi ineludible en estos días. Es difícil encontrar un fanático de fútbol que sea absolutamente imparcial acerca de este debate. Es así como este culto reúne la atención de millones y suma adeptos cada vez más fieles y cada vez más alejados de la península ibérica. La atención masificada causa entonces un fenómeno dentro del periodismo deportivo, el cual se distorsiona por tratarse de un tema tan abierto a la opinión y a la interpretación como es el balompié.
