Philippe Coutinho made his debut as a player of FC Barcelona

This Thursday Philippe Coutinho had his debut as a player of FC Barcelona in the final leg of the return of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey against Espanyol, replacing Andrés Iniesta.
Coutinho who comes to recover from a muscle injury, jumped onto the lawn of the Camp Nou in the 65th minute and played until the end of the match, enough time to demonstrate their skills and abilities.
Although he gave a good assist that Luis Suarez could not turn into a goal, the Brazilian was very comfortable on the court and with a good association with the Catalan trident.

The Brazilian is called to be in the near future, the natural relay of Andres Iniesta. The Brazilian midfielder will wear the number 14 culé left by Javier Mascherano.
It is worth remembering that his signing is one of the last made by Barcelona, besides being one of the most expensive in the history of the club. For the Brazilian 150 million euros have been paid.
Philippe Coutinho, 25, will have a new opportunity to take competitive pace in Sunday's match against Alavés at Camp Nou, where Ernesto Valverde could give him more minutes of play.
The Brazilian has participated in a total of 337 matches as a professional, 305 of them at the club level, and 32 with the Brazilian national team, in which he has scored 77 goals, divided up to 54, so he plans to reach similar sporting levels to those of Neymar.
