Arsenal: Philippe Coutinho would be ‘good signing’ says pundit
Liverpool may have been knocked out of the Champions League before the coronavirus pandemic, but they could still see some financial rewards come their way if Bayern Munich win the competition. The Bundesliga giants put on quite the show on Friday night as they swept aside Barcelona in an almost embarrassing 8-2 victory.

Barcelona paid a club-record fee to sign Coutinho back in January 2018.
It hasn't worked out for the Brazilian playmaker though as he was deemed surplus to requirements before being sent out on loan to Bayern.
But Coutinho has struggled to establish himself as a regular in Bayern's starting line-up with the German side not expected to try and sign him permanently this summer.
Liverpool have already moved on from Coutinho, using the money from his departure to sign both Alisson and Virgil van Dijk.
But according to the Mirror, Liverpool could be set to receive more money from Barcelona.
The deal for Coutinho moving to the Nou Camp included plenty of add-ons and one was reportedly a £4.5m fee if Coutinho went on to win the Champions League within two years of joining Barcelona.
Surprisingly though, the clauses are player-specific as opposed to club-specific.
Coutinho's future remains uncertain though with Barcelona expected to make big changes this summer following the humiliating exit from the Champions League.
