Former Real Madrid CF favourites Emilio Butragueño and Fernando Hierro will participate in the launch of the official 2009/10 UEFA Champions League final match ball – the tenth since adidas began to issue a special ball for each showcase event – at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium on Tuesday 9 March.

The Finale Madrid ball will make its competitive debut at the famous venue in the UEFA Champions League decider on 22 May, the first to be played on a Saturday, and represents a significant landmark in the relationship between European football's governing body and adidas.
