Summary

Hola!


Well, I’ve had a busy day… all thanks to a certain Brazilian midfielder who has just landed in the city I call home, Barcelona.


This was Coutinho Day at FC Barcelona so please join me for a behind-the-scenes report on how it all went down.


You’ll hear snippets from the press conference, insights from colleagues in the Spanish press and get a flavour of the atmosphere around one of the highest-profile signings in the club’s history.


Enjoy!


Graham
