Coutinho joined Barcelona last weekend in a deal worth £142million.

The Brazilian, who was formally unveiled in front of the media on Monday, isn’t expected to make his debut for at least three weeks as he is currently nursing a thigh injury.

But when asked before his presentation who he looked up to when growing - a certain ex-Barca star popped to mind.

“To wear the Barcelona shirt was always a dream since I was very young because of the history and greatness of the club," he said in an interview published on Barcelona’s official YouTube channel.
