Blaugrana ace Philippe Coutinho has admitted to being anxious before making his Champions League debut for Barcelona against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday night.

The Brazilian playmaker had no need to worry as he excelled in Barcelona’s 4-0 win over the Dutch champions.

After the match he spoke about what it was like to finally play in Europe for Barcelona after the game.

“The fans and all the players really want to win. The match against PSV was special, like all games in the Champions League, and also because it was in front of our fans it was a fantastic feeling,” he said.

“Making my Champions League debut was a unique feeling. I was very anxious before the game. Last year I couldn’t play in this competition and I hope that as time goes by I can improve and help the team.

“Messi always shoots and scores goals, which is what it important to score goals and win games. Its amazing what he does. The truth is he is an unpredictable player, he always does new things.”

Barcelona’s next Champions League outing is on October 3 when they head to Wembley to take on Tottenham.
