Barca lost to Sevilla 0-2 in the Spanish King's quarter-finals. However, in the return match 1 day ago, the Catalan team had a match to destroy the opponent 6-1 to win a ticket to the semifinals with a final victory 6-3.

In the 6-1 win over Sevilla, midfielder Coutinho is the hero with a goal double. The Brazilian player opened the scoring in the 13th minute on the 11th minute, after being conceded by Messi. In addition, Coutinho is also the player who scored the third goal for Barca at the beginning of the second half. Ivan Rakitic, Luis Suarez, Sergio Roberto and Messi are the remaining ones who hit Sevilla.

Speaking after the match, Coutinho voiced his gratitude to his teammate Messi for giving the penalty penalty to himself: "A penalty of 11m comes naturally. Leo's action is amazing. It is good for the team confidence, we know that in order to go upstream, we have to be determined from the beginning. "

This season Coutinho is being criticized very much for his unconvincing performance. The new 145 million euro contract has only four goals in 19 appearances in La Liga. Counting on every arena, Coutinho scored 8 goals in 30 matches.
