Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho could land Champions League medal if Liverpool win competition... and ex-boss Jurgen Klopp gives green light

Philippe Coutinho has another reason to support Liverpool in the Champions League now Barcelona have been eliminated.

The Brazilian, who joined Barcelona in January for £145million, could be in with a chance of landing a winner's medal if Jurgen Klopp's side go on to lift the prestigious trophy.

Coutinho played in five of Liverpool's six group games so he has contributed to his former side's progression to the knockout stages.
