Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho has endured 24 hours to forget after having to stay behind in his new home city as his team-mates prepare to play Chelsea in the Champions League.
The 25-year-old is not involved in the last-16 match at Stamford Bridge because he is cup-tied after his involvement in the group stages with Liverpool.
And Coutinho's intention of exploring the Sagrada Familia - a temple in his new home city - in his new home city on Monday turned into a disastrous trip.
