Coutinho said: "It will be a special, important night for me. I'm looking forward to this because I couldn't play this competition for Barca last season.
"We are Barca and we want to win every competition we play in. The Champions League is a huge competition and we want to do big things.
"It's a very demanding competition because of the quality of the teams involved, but both us players and the fans are really hungry to win it."
The match was drawn to a close, and Barcelona walked home with their winning, beating PSV 4:0.
Although they lost Umtiti to a red card, they weren't affected anyways, Lionel Messi the magic boy did his normal by firstly converting a free kick to a goal.
He was able to complete his hatrick, with dembelle scoring just 1.
