All eyes will be on Coutinho to impress in his first UEFA Champions League game for Barcelona today
Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho became Barcelona's most expensive signing when he left Liverpool for the Nou Camp during the winter transfer window. Although he did impress domestically with 10 goals and 6 assists in 22 appearances for La Blaugrana following his move last season, he wasn't allowed to represent the Catalans in the Champions League, having featured for the Premier League outfit earlier in the tournament.

In his first UEFA Champions League game for the Spanish champions, there is no doubt all eyes will be on the Brazilian to impress when they take on Dutch outfit PSV at the Nou Camp this evening.
With his ability to dictate play from the middle of the pitch, link up with his teammates perfectly, dribble with great flair as well as moving the ball forward to create chances for the attackers and also finding the back of the net himself, Coutinho will produce an entertaining display at the Nou Camp this evening.
