Behind-The-Scenes On Coutinho's first day at Barcelona

Barcelona documented Philippe Coutinho's first day at the club by shadowing their new £142m man around the Camp Nou as he explored his new home. Signing for one of the world's biggest clubs, earning a reported £240,000 a week, and no longer having a fear of Simon Mignolet's incapabilities turning your match winners into consolations.

No wonder there's a big grin on his face. Shortly after signing a deal to become the club's record-transfer, the Brazilian was taken for a photoshoot in the Auditorium with the assembled media, before visiting the Blaugrana Museum to see all the shiny trophies he'll be winning every few months.

Coutinho visited the club store to print his new shirt (number yet to be unveiled) before ending his first day at Barcelona by scoffing a giant bowl of Doritos while watching his new teammates hammer another helpless and petrified mid-table La Liga team 3-0 at the Camp Nou. Get used to that, Phil.
