Philippe Coutinho goal: Barcelona forward beats Manchester United's David de Gea with sublime strike

Philippe Coutinho beat David de Gea with a sublime long-range strike to put Barcelona in cruise control against Manchester United on Tuesday evening.

Lionel Messi scored a lightning-quick brace in the first-half of the Champions League quarter-final second leg between the two teams. But Coutinho stole the show in the second-half with a phenomenal long-range strike.

Messi predictably had a hand in the goal, clipping the ball out wide to Jordi Alba.

Alba then found Coutinho in space, with the former Liverpool man deciding to try his luck from 25 yards.

The Brazilian unleashed a powerful curling shot, which flew past De Gea and gave Barcelona commanding 4-0 lead on aggregate. You can watch the goal below.
