Barca and Madrid are in massive debt to the banks and have been for years way before the likes of Man Utd got into debt, actually it really isn't Man Utd in debt it's the owners who got into debt to buy them.
Teams have got a big shock coming though if UEFA stick to the new financial rules they are bringing in, the likes of Barca, Chelsea and Man City will be hit most as they bring in less than the likes of Madrid and Man Utd and rely more on the banks and their rich owners than the others.
