For those who didn't get to watch Barcelona's incredible comeback live today, here are the highlights from YouTube. Enjoy before UEFA removes the video.

Barcelona vs. PSG Highlights

The screen seems a bit cropped, but the quality isn't too bad, and the commentary is actually in English, which is a rare find for YouTube highlights of big games like this.

Do you think the contact on Neymar at 5:20 should have been called a penalty?

I think it is, but Neymar's reputation made the referee think twice.

Yeah, because linking highlights is totally providing insight. Not everyone has the free time to watch things live, you know.

And not once did I claim to be a Ligue 1 expert or even fan. Forgive me for not following what has been one of the least competitive title races in the world for the last few years. I'm glad it's becoming actually competitive again. Watching the good French teams in the Champions League and Europa League is more than enough for me.

No but you made sweeping statements about it as forcefully as Steven A Smith does with the NBA, but unlike SAS you did so without having the slightest idea what you were talking about.

Follow whatever you want. I don't follow the Russian league. But you don't see me jumping into threads saying this Russian team or that are shite, do you?

You sure say a lot of dumb, unsubstantiated things on the Poli board with no evidence to back it up. One of the worst posters on there, and that's saying a lot.

But whatever. Don't take my hot takes or any of this too seriously. We're all soccer junkies here.

PSG get the least return on investment of about any team in the world. Buying droves of world-class players only to limp out of the Champions League time and time again, and apparently, struggle to even win the domestic league they should be dominating. Must be maddening for their fans.

That's flat out not true. You may not like or agree with something I say on this or any other board, but I always have something backing that opinion up.

People making stupid statements with conviction is a pet peeve of mine. It's a problem I've been working on but obviously it's not going well.

PSG's total squad value is 8th in the world

Where has PSG been? Quarterfinals of the CL every year (until this year). So top 8. Sounds about right to me. Building a top club in today's climate takes years and years. How long did it take Chelsea to win the Champions League after Roman bought them? A decade. PSG has been at this for half that time.

Yes PSG should be leading L1, Monaco has a great young team that is playing incredibly well. These things happen. Ligue 1 develops a lot of great players, it's not the shite league lazy fans like you think it is.
