On his day, Coutinho is capable of splitting even the tightest defences apart with his magical vision and incredible dribbling skills, while his ability to find the back of the net from long range renders him a serial threat to any opposition in the European tournament.
Whether he is deployed as an attacking midfielder or as a winger on either flank, the former Liverpool playmaker has what it takes to decide the fate of any game within the blink of an eye and his presence will definitely do Barcelona a lot of good in the UEFA Champions League.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo.
