Philippe Coutinho 'Probably Regrets' Leaving Liverpool, Says Chairman Tom Werner

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has said Philippe Coutinho "probably regrets" leaving Anfield in January 2018 to join Barcelona.

On paper, the Brazilian's £142 million move to the Camp Nou has been largely successful as he now has two La Liga titles in his trophy cabinet.

In truth, though, Coutinho has struggled at Barca and has yet to make himself an indispensable part of the first team.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have gone from strength to strength, using the money they got for Coutinho to build a title-challenging squad and reaching back-to-back UEFA Champions League finals.

They lost 3-1 to Real Madrid in last year's European showpiece, but they are favourites to prevail against Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid on Saturday and claim the famous trophy for a sixth time:
