4 La Liga superstars who need to step up their performances

#2 Philippe Coutinho

Coutinho has fallen below expectations this season

Following a serious tug-of-war with Liverpool, Barcelona succeeded in luring Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho from Anfield to Nou Camp during the winter of 2018, making him the most expensive player in the club's history with his £142 million transfer fee.

While Coutinho earned himself a brilliant start to life in Catalonia bagging an amazing 10 goals and 6 assists as the Blaugrana ran riot to claim both the La Liga title and the Copa Del Rey trophy last season, his situation at the Nou Camp this term is not what he would have wished for himself

The Brazilian has been far from his best, recording just 5 goals and 4 assists to his name in 22 appearances so far and he will need to step up with his performances with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Malcom, Arthur Melo and Arturo Vidal posing a serious threat to his place in the team.
