#3 Philippe Coutinho, Barcelona

Attempts: 26, Goals: 5, Conversion rate: 19.23%

Espanyol v Barcelona - La Liga
The ex-Liverpool star has scored some free kicks at the Anfield.

Philippe Coutinho is one of the best free-kick takers in world football at the moment. The Brazilian international has excelled for Liverpool and finished only behind Steven Gerrard and Harry Redknapp in the all-time list of Liverpool’s free-kick goalscorers.

The 25-year-old has scored 5 goals from direct free-kicks in 26 attempts, which equates to a superb conversion rate of 19.23%. His brilliant free-kick past Kasper Schmeichel during Liverpool’s 3-2 win over Leicester early in the season was simply out of the world.

Throughout his career, the Brazilian has excelled in dead ball situations. His superb form for Liverpool earned him a move to the Catalan giants.
