Some may want to make a short holiday of it but others may be only able to get a couple of days off work.
The game is a Wednesday night so chances are you'll need more than two days off work wherever it is.Be surprised if you could easily do Madrid with 2 days off work unless you're doing a day trip in and out on a charter flight which is around Ł800 for fans for the CL final, or flying in last minute on the day of the game, risking missing it and missing everything that comes with such an occasion.

As I said, I'm sure they'd have found the extra day or two holiday had it been the CL Final
