Paderborn 2-3 Bayern Munich: 3 talking points | Bundesliga 2019/20

#2 Philippe Coutinho settling in well to life in Munich

Coutinho has impressed since his loan arrival at Bayern Munich

After arriving Barcelona for a club record fee in January 2018, big things were expected of Philippe Coutinho, but his Barcelona career did not go according to plan, as for 18 months, the Brazilian international looked lost and was a shadow of the player who tore defenses to shreds at Liverpool.

A loan transfer to Bayern Munich was completed over the summer, and Coutinho has gone about rediscovering his best form under Niko Kovac's guidance.

Having opened his scoring from the penalty spot in the 4-0 victory over FC Koln last week, Coutinho made it two in consecutive weeks when he scored with a finish into an empty net after he had been teed up by Gnabry in the 55th minute.

Earlier on, the 27-year-old had set the German international up when he lofted a through ball in the 15th minute for Gnabry to finish.

Philippe Coutinho is a player of undoubted quality, but having faced criticism in the last few months, he would be eager to silence his critics and his performances for Bayern Munich has gone some way in doing so.
