Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi put on a masterclass in front of new recruit Philippe Coutinho as Barcelona trounced Celta Vigo 5-0 to ease into the Copa del Rey quarter-finals 6 -1 on aggregate. Coutinho, dressed in a black shirt dotted with white stars, was in the stands at the Camp Nou for the first time since his 160 million-euro ($192 million) move from Liverpool. It didn't take long for the Brazilian star to appreciate the playing riches on show on the pitch. "The first half was extraordinary," said Barca coach Ernesto Valverde.
