Philippe Coutinho was in the stands, but the only two players Barcelona needed against Celta Vigo Thursday were Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba. Meet me once Barcelona go up 3-0.

They've got a telepathic connection, those two. Yikes. Barcelona had the game won after 28 minutes, but that didn't stop Ceta Vigo from shooting themselves in the feet once more in the first half.
GOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!!
A sloppy Pione Sisto back pass allows @LuisSuarez9 to get a piece of the goal action. 4-0! #CopaDelRey pic.twitter.com/atz0WIEjIx— beIN SPORTS USA (@beINSPORTSUSA) January 11, 2018
And then doing that again near the end of the match.
GOOOOOAAALLL!!!!@RCCelta put on a masterclass on how NOT to defend a corner and @ivanrakitic makes it a manita for Barca! #CopaDelRey pic.twitter.com/2rF2hIESwg
