Paulinho has now scored six goals in his last 10 Brazil games

Barcelona players Paulinho and Philippe Coutinho were on target as Brazil beat Russia 3-0 in Moscow on Friday. 

Miranda opened the scoring in the 53rd minute as Tite’s side warmed up for this summer’s World Cup in Russia by beating the hosts. 

Coutinho, a €140 million January arrival at Barça, then doubled Brazil’s lead in the 61st minute. 

Another Barça midfielder, Paulinho, then completed the rout in the 66th minute, with all Brazil’s goals coming in a 13-minute second half spell. 

Brazil’s win was all the more impressive due to the fact they were without star player Neymar, who has a broken bone in his foot.
