Micah Richards has suggested Philippe Coutinho was 'the best player in the league' during his final season at Liverpool in 2017/18.
The Brazilian playmaker left the Reds for Barcelona in January 2018 in a deal worth £142million, having previously handed in a transfer request in the summer of 2017 as he attempted to force through a move.
Coutinho failed to hit the heights many expected him to reach at Camp Nou, which led to the 29-year-old being left out of starting line-ups and later loaned out to Bayern Munich.
