Madrid Final Gets Cash Boost From Saturday Fever

The Champions League final in Madrid will provide a 351.5 million-euro ($440 million) windfall to the battered European economy, as more fans are traveling to the buzzing Spanish city for the Saturday showdown. According to a study commissioned by MasterCard, one of the sponsors of the competition, more than 120,000 people will descend on Madrid despite the downturn for the first Champions League final to be played on a Saturday evening.
