Champions League: Lyon wins again, convincingly, in frigid Kiev, 3-0

Just three days after their hard-won victory against local rivals St-Etienne, OL took on Kiev in frigid weather. Players were bundled up and so were fans; the pitch, from the way it looked on TV, was either damp and slippery from snow or rains.

In spite of the less than ideal conditions, OL managed to score three times and put away the game before the start of the second half. Just days after their victory in Lyon, captain Juninho and left midfielder Abidal were rested early in the second half so as to not completely exhaust them (another big match, against division rivals Olympique Marseille (OM) awaits them this weekend) .

I took a break from studying Accounting (yes, we finished strategy today, we begin financial accounting tomorrow), and went down to a pub down in Place des Terreaux where I was able to watch the game projected onto a large screen. I disciplined myself to study hard until the end of the first half and headed down shortly before ten PM ... but I'll be studying another hour or so before going to bed and trying to get enough sleep for yet another long day tomorrow.
