A lot what was expected from Philippe Coutinho when the Brazilian playmaker made his much-talked about move to Barcelona from Liverpool for a hefty price tag of £143m in January 2018.
The Brazilian was heralded as the long-term heir apparent of the magical Andres Iniesta while also being hailed as the next poster boy for the Catalan giants following the unexpected departure of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain.
Coutinho’s start to life in Barcelona colours in January last year was electric with the Brazilian more than justifying his price tag with some important goals and assists to his name.
