Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has been often linked with both Spanish giants in recent seasons (mostly Barcelona) and it’s hardly a surprise. On his day, the Brazilian can have the world at his feet but has found it hard to dominate in the Premier League on a consistent basis. We have seen him being strongly man-marked and manhandled by oppositions as the opponents know it very well that if he is offered the space, he is more than likely to punish for their misadventures.
Coutinho is a typical Brazilian attacking midfielder who relies on his flair and technical abilities and is superb when it comes to beating his man with the ball. However, with his small frame, he often struggles against the big defenders in the Premier League. Coutinho, however, is a kind of player that would thrive in La Liga and would reach the heights of his career if he moves to Spain.

Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
