The Brazilian came on at half-time and made a quick impact in his fifth appearance for the Blaugrana

Philippe Coutinho has scored his first Barcelona goal, just minutes after coming on against Valencia as a half-time substitute.

The Brazilian was dropped for the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg at Mestalla on Thursday, but came on at the break for the ineffective Andre Gomes.

And the 25-year-old made an instant impact, opening his Barcelona account in the 49th minute to give his side a 1-0 lead on the night, and a 2-0 advantage on aggregate.
