Just read FC Barcelona has a debt of 364 million euro, disgrace for the sport. Especially in these economical conditions. Barca is just an example, most big teams have huge debts.
Completely agree. Problem is, nearly all clubs are in debt. What's even more of a disgrace is that small clubs who are supposedly not as attractive or valuable are left to die a slow death; plenty of examples here of small lower league/non-league clubs left to go bust over debts of £X00k, whilst as you say, Barca are vastly more so. The difference is, they still have a sizeable income and the banks are fond of them. Economics is such a stupid and murky world that this kind of thing will continue to go on. It seriously pisses me off that such clubs are allowed to accrue this kind of debt and let continue to buy players for stupid sums of money and pay them in kind. It continues to keep the smaller clubs small and let the big clubs bigger despite the complete moronic nature of their financial situations.

Lyon doesn't play like that every match, that was disappointing. They clearly came to Amserdam to go back to France with one point. But still, as you said, draw is fair. 
Too bad, because there are a lot of GREAT matches this weekend. I'll do that tomorrow
