Watch: Philippe Coutinho combines with Luis Suarez to score his first Barcelona goal

Coutinho opened the scoring for Barcelona in their 2-0 win over Valencia in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg on Thursday night to secure a 3-0 aggregate victory.

The Brazil international came off the bench in the 49th minute to score on his fifth Barcelona appearance after making his £146m transfer from Liverpool in January.

The relief was clear on Coutinho's face. He said post-match: "I feel happy to have scored my first goal for Barça and have helped the team get to the final. It's a special moment."

Coincidentally, Suarez set up Coutinho's first goal at Liverpool five years ago. Clearly there's synergy there.
