5 players that could help Barcelona win the Champions League this season

FC Barcelona v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg
Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele

#2. Philippe Coutinho

Barcelona v Espanyol - Spanish Copa del Rey
The Brazilian will trouble opponents with his long-range efforts

Philippe Coutinho became Barcelona's record signing when he left Liverpool for Camp Nou in January. Although he did impress domestically, the playmaker was not allowed to represent the club in the Champions League, having represented The Reds earlier in the tournament.

This term, the playmaker will get the opportunity to line up for Barcelona in the European competition. Forming part of an incredible midfield trio alongside Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic, the Brazilian will definitely run riot in the middle of the pitch.

Coutinho is a technically gifted midfielder, capable of bamboozling opposition defenders using his electrifying dribbling skills. He is very creative, able to set his teammates free by sending fantastic passes into the box.

The attacker will also be effective against opponents that sit back to defend, with his incredible ability to find the net from long range.
