After a goalless first half, Coutinho decided to open up the game after the break. The Brazilian seized the ball and sent an angled shot curling into the back of the net.

Thanks to a moment of genius from Philippe Coutinho, Barcelona broke free from the goalless deadlock that had prevailed in the first 45 minutes.

The midfielder, who had held an active role on the pitch, saw an opportunity to open the scoring with a goal in his typical style. The 25-year-old made his mark in the face several defenders, in the 56th minute.

Coutinho snapped a curling effort high and strong to the far post to put the hosts ahead, in a particularly fitting way to wrap up his first season at Barcelona.
