Unfortunately for Barca, Coutinho is yet to prove his worth. After a weak season and a half at Camp Nou, he left on loan to Bayern where he ended up winning the treble.
Philippe returned to the Catalans in 2020 and has so far recorded three goals and two assists in 14 matches. The Brazilian has picked up a serious injury and is expected to be out until April.
