Despite Coutinho saying that he has "come to Barcelona to win the Champions League" he may now have to watch his former club win it.
Coutinho played five games in the group stages for the Premier League side. In total, he featured for 347 minutes and scored five goals, so he would be eligible for a medal if Liverpool win the trophy next month.
THE FIVE GAMES Coutinho PLAYED IN EUROPE:
- Liverpool - Sevilla: 2-2 (min. 14'; goals 0)
- Spartak Moscow - Liverpool: 1-1 (min. 90'; goals 1)
- Maribor - Liverpool: 0-7 (min. 90'; goals 1)
- Sevilla - Liverpool: 3-3 (min. 63'; goals 0)
- Liverpool - Spartak Moscow: 7-0 (min. 90'; goals 3).
