The pitch might be in awful condition at Wembley, but that didn't stop Barcelona taking an early lead against Spurs on Wednesday evening.

As Coutinho's effort was saved by Hugo Lloris, the Brazilian kept the ball in play with an instinctive volleyed pass back into play, and Rakitić was there to meet it.
