This week's World Football comes from Madrid ahead of Saturday's European Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.

This year for the first time the final will be played on a Saturday - and there will be a week-long celebration in Madrid. But as the Champions League gets bigger and bigger what is the knock-on effect for other competitions and domestic leagues?

We hear from UEFA and the ECA (formerly the Group of 14) representatives - as well as leading figures from Europe's top clubs.

Real Madrid's Director of Football - and for this year, the Champions League Ambassador - Emilio Butragueno, talks to us about the success of the Champions League brand and Real Madrid's recent failures in the competition.

Real Madrid have now gone two seasons without winning any silverware - despite spending millions on the likes of Ronaldo, Benzema and Kaka. We find out why this great club has struggled to 'buy' success.

The German side St Pauli celebrated its centenary year by winning promotion to the Bundesliga. St Pauli has become a "cult" club in Germany - with an alternative fan scene. Based near Hamburg's famous Reeperbahn they have a vibrant party atmosphere at games, a now famous skull and crossbow emblem and a left-wing ideology. As part of St Pauli's centenary celebrations games against Celtic and FC United have been organised. World Football finds out what promotion means to the club.
