- 1:00Villa's attempt to play out from the back gives Lamine Yamal an opening.
- 5:18Fermín López cuts the ball back for Raphinha inside the box.
- 7:18João Cancelo beats defenders and squares for Raphinha at close range.
- 8:51Zion Suzuki makes a reflex save after a defensive mix-up leaves López with a point-blank chance.
- 10:09Leon Goretzka meets a Villa corner with a header that hits the post.
- 11:00Late Yamal chances lead into the final whistle and confirmed result.
João Cancelo slips past defenders inside the box, then squares for Raphinha to finish from close range. It is the most intricate of Barcelona's goals in DAZN Football's Champions League highlights, but Aston Villa also give their hosts a much simpler route through.
An error playing out from the back lets Lamine Yamal open the scoring. Fermín López later supplies Raphinha for his first goal, before Cancelo creates the Brazilian's second to complete a 3-0 win.
The highlights attracted around 230,000 views in their first day, roughly 45 times DAZN Football's usual start for regular videos. Other Champions League uploads also drew unusually large audiences, including Atlético Madrid against Bayern Munich and Villarreal against PSG.
In the Barcelona video's comments, the recurring question is tactical: why did Villa keep trying short passes near their own goal when Barcelona were waiting to press? Several viewers point to the same repeated risk rather than an isolated mistake.
Villa do have chances. Matty Cash sends a deflected effort narrowly wide, Joan García saves a low attempt, and Leon Goretzka heads against the post. At the other end, Zion Suzuki produces a reflex stop to deny López after another defensive mix-up. The goalkeeper's saves limit the damage, but the passing in front of him remains the talking point.
