Knowing that a draw would suffice to be crowned champions of Spain, Barcelona chose not to hold back against Deportivo La Coruna, and it was Coutinho who grabbed the opener.

The Brazilian midfielder, regarded as Andres Iniesta's successor, is often hailed for his shooting ability, and his goal against Deportivo on Sunday was certainly testament to his world class finishing

With seven minutes on the clock, Barca launched an early attack. Ousmane Dembele, noticing that he had no gap to go alone, opted to roll the ball back to Coutinho on the edge of the box. And he did the rest...

With mesmerising technique, Coutinho swept the ball up into the top left corner to give his side the lead and kickstart Barcelona's title celebrations.
