FC Barcelona vs SD Huesca: 5 Takeaways from Barcelona’s demolition 

#5 - Coutinho running the show in midfield

Coutinho put in another impressive display against Huesca

After the departure of Andres Iniesta, there was a huge hole at the heart of Barca midfield, something which only a few footballers can try to fill. For Barca, Coutinho just happens to be that.

The Brazilian already has a goal and an assist in 3 games and continues to put in top-notch displays. With his silky feet and a directness in his attacking approach, he is becoming the second most lethal player at Barca after Messi.

His performances at the Camp Nou was nothing short of a masterclass with his beautiful link-up plays with Messi and Suarez. The highlight of the day was his assist to Messi that was absolutely Iniesta-esque.

If Coutinho continues the way he is playing, the money Barca spent to get him from Liverpool could very well prove to be a bargain.
