Coutinho scores on Barça return in 2-1 friendly win against AE Prat
Barcelona's non-internationals took part in a game after the Sevilla match was postponed this weekend
Ronald Koeman took advantage of the international break and Barcelona's postponed fixture against Sevilla to organise a match against AE Prat on Wednesday.
The game against the fourth division side took place at Barça's training ground and ended in a 2-1 win, with Philippe Coutinho and an own goal from Roger the scorers, while Kuku scored for the visitors.
Barça played 4-3-3 from the start: Ter Stegen, Mingueza, Comas, Umtiti, Balde, S.Roberto, Riqui Puig, Pedri, Coutinho, Collado and Luuk de Jong.
Coutinho opened the scoring after a good team move but Kuku levelled from a corner before the break.
In the second half, Coutinho and new signing De Jong stayed on for around an hour, when they were taken off. The Brazilian left good sensations after months out injured.
For the final 30 minutes, Koeman brought on some of the club's youngsters, who added freshness, which resulted in the winning goal, Roger putting into his own net.
Ansu Fati, who is still doing recovery work, was not involved. Koeman doesn't want to take risks with the 18.year-old.
