I think he will be happy for Alison, Fabinho and his Brazilian compatriots
Neil Mellor on Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho
Mellor says Coutinho will not be happy with that result but pleased to see fellow Brazil internationals Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino succeed.
“That will be a question for him,” Mellor told americangambler.com when asked if Coutinho would be happy at Liverpool's victory.
“But I think he will be happy for Alison, Fabinho and his Brazilian compatriots but maybe not so happy that his side were knocked out in the semi-finals the way that they were.”
Coutinho has already been linked with a move away from Barcelona after struggling to nail down a starting spot.
