Manchester United and Barcelona meet again on Thursday for a mouth-watering second leg-tie in European competition.
The last time that happened was in the Champions League nearly four years ago, when Philippe Coutinho resumed his role as United's tormentor after years of being a thorn in their side while he starred for Liverpool. With the scoreline 2-0 to Barca after a first-half double from Lionel Messi, giving the hosts a 3-0 lead on aggregate at the Camp Nou, Coutinho dealt the Red Devils a hammer blow on the hour mark by scoring a sensational goal that vanquished Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side for good.
Although the Brazilian midfielder's trademark right-footed strike from long-range was superb and worthy of acclaim, what also caught spectators' eyes was his rather muted celebration. Turning to face the thousands of jubilant home fans inside the Camp Nou, Coutinho stood still and put his fingers in his ears to block out the noise.
