Coutinho analyzes Chelsea for Barcelona

Barcelona's new arrival, Philippe Coutinho, analyzes Chelsea's upcoming rival for the Catalunya Champions League. The Brazilian midfielder is well aware of the London game against which he has often played in the Premier League as part of the Liverpool team before moving to Camp Nou. He will not take part in the two clash of the 1/8-finals on February 20 at Stamford Bridge and on March 14 at Camp Nou because he has already played in the Merseyside tournament.

"Chelsea is a tricky team that acts very tactfully. This means that Barcelona will not be easy. Of course, every player wants to play in the strong tournaments, but when the Barcelona proposal came I did not think much. If Barca won the trophy, I will consider this victory for my own, even though I will not take part in it. I will have other opportunities to play with Barcelona in the Champions League, "says Coutinho.

He also talked about his impressions of his previous stay in the Catalan capital and the teammates he met there.

"It's amazing when I look in the dressing room and see Andres Iniesta, Leo Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Buscakes, and everyone else, players I've watched on TV or played with them on PlayStation, and now we share the same dressing room.

Andres is a genius and it is a real honor to share the same dressing room. I hope to learn a lot from him. Of course, there is only one Iniesta. I came here to write my own story and learn from these great players. Like everyone else, I think Messi is the best footballer in the world and being here with him is a great honor for me. He met me great. Leo is a real person, "said Coutinho.
