Coutinho height - How tall is Coutinho?

Coutinho returned to Barcelona with the arrival of new coach Ronald Koeman. On 4 October 2020, he scored his first goal of the season in a 1–1 draw against Sevilla.

On 19 August 2019, Coutinho joined German club Bayern Munich on a season-long loan. Bayern paid a loan-fee of €8.5 million plus Coutinho's wages. Bayern reportedly have the option to sign Coutinho on a permanent contract in the summer of 2020 for €120 million. On 24 August 2019, Coutinho made his Bundesliga debut for Bayern in a 3–0 win at Schalke. Coutinho came on as a 57th minute substitute. On 21 September, Coutinho scored his first goal for Bayern in a 4–0 win against 1. FC Köln. Coutinho admitted in a press conference that he is happy at Bayern Munich and intends to stay there. On 14 December, Coutinho scored his first hat-trick for Bayern Munich, also assisting two goals, in a 6–1 win over SV Werder Bremen. On 14 August, Coutinho came on in the second half of their Champions League quarter-final match against his parent club Barcelona, assisting Robert Lewandowski in the 82nd minute for the 6th goal and scoring the last 2 goals at 85th and 89th minutes to complete the 8–2 routing. Later on, Coutinho came on as a substitute in the Champions League Final, in which Bayern Munich managed to win 1–0 over Paris Saint-Germain, to be their second treble of Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League titles.

Two years later, various football commentators noted that Coutinho's transfer to Barcelona, was instrumental in providing the funds necessary, for Liverpool to purchase the transfer rights of both Virgil Van Dijk (from Southampton F.C. for £75 million, then a world-record transfer fee for a defender, in the 2018 January transfer window) and Alisson (from A.S. Roma for £66.9 million, then a world-record transfer fee for a goalkeeper, in the 2018 summer transfer window). Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson have both been identified as two of the most pivotal players in Liverpool's successes of winning the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League as well as the 2019-20 Premier League.

In August 2017, Liverpool rejected a £72 million bid from Barcelona for Coutinho, prompting the player to submit a transfer request over email. Two more improved bids from Barcelona were rejected, leading Barça director Albert Soler to claim Liverpool wanted £183 million for Coutinho, which Liverpool denied. Coutinho made his first appearance of the season for Liverpool on 13 September 2017, coming on as a substitute for Emre Can in the 75th minute of a 2–2 draw against Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League. He scored his first Premier League goal of the season on 23 September 2017 in a 3–2 victory at Leicester City.

On 5 January 2016, Coutinho suffered a hamstring injury in a 1–0 win over Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, which ruled him out for five weeks. On 9 February, he returned to score a goal to make it 1–1 against West Ham United in the FA Cup, although Liverpool lost in extra time. On 28 February, in the 2016 League Cup Final, Coutinho scored an 83rd-minute equalizer in a 1–1 draw against Manchester City. However, in the subsequent penalty shootout, his "hesitant" attempt was one of three saved by victorious City goalkeeper Willy Caballero. On 17 March, Coutinho scored Liverpool's goal in a 1–1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford, helping Liverpool to a 3–1 aggregate victory that saw them progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League. On 14 April, he scored as Liverpool defeated Borussia Dortmund 4–3 in the second leg of their quarter-final. On 13 April, Coutinho was one of six players nominated for the 2016 PFA Young Player of the Year award. On 21 April, he scored the final goal of a 4–0 Merseyside derby win over Everton.

On 31 January 2015, Coutinho assisted both goals for Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge in a 2–0 win over West Ham United. On 3 February 2015, Coutinho signed a new long-term deal set to keep him at Liverpool until 2020. On 4 February, just one day after extending his contract, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 FA Cup fourth round match against Bolton Wanderers. On 22 February, he scored the opening goal in Liverpool's 2–0 victory over Southampton. In the next match, against Manchester City on 1 March, Coutinho scored the winning goal for Liverpool. He won the PFA Fans' Player of the Month award for February.

On 13 April 2014, Coutinho scored the winning goal in the 78th minute in a 3–2 win against Manchester City. The result put Liverpool seven points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table with four matches remaining. However, Manchester City had six matches remaining and went on to win the title, with Liverpool finishing second.

On 26 January 2013, Premier League club Liverpool agreed an £8.5 million transfer fee with Inter Milan for Coutinho, pending a medical exam and a work permit from the Home Office. Southampton had also expressed an interest in Coutinho, who had played under Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino at Espanyol, but Coutinho said he would prefer to join Liverpool. On 30 January, Liverpool confirmed the signing of Coutinho on a long-term contract after he was successful in his work permit application, and was given the number 10 shirt. Former director of football at Liverpool Damien Comolli later revealed Liverpool had scouted and ultimately signed Coutinho following a recommendation by then-Inter Milan manager and former Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez, who described the Brazilian as "world class".

During the 2011–12 season, Coutinho struggled to establish himself in Inter's first team and on 30 January 2012, he joined La Liga club Espanyol on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut for the club on 4 February 2012 under manager Mauricio Pochettino, starting in a 3–3 draw with Athletic Bilbao. The following month, he scored his first goals for the Catalan side when he scored a brace in a 5–1 victory against Rayo Vallecano. He ultimately scored 5 goals in 16 appearances during his loan with Espanyol before returning to Inter at the end of the season.

On 8 May 2011, in a 3–1 win at home against Fiorentina, Coutinho scored his first goal for Inter from a free-kick that curled over the wall and into the net. His second goal for Inter came in a match against Cagliari on 19 November 2011, where Coutinho received a through-ball from teammate Ricky Álvarez and scored into the bottom left corner of the net to give Inter a 2–0 lead.

Coutinho made his senior international debut in 2010. He was part of the Brazilian squad at the 2015 Copa América, the Copa América Centenario in 2016, and made his World Cup debut at the 2018 FIFA World Cup where he scored two goals and was named to the FIFA World Cup Dream Team; he was also a member of the Brazilian team that won the 2019 Copa América on home soil.

Having made youth appearances for Brazil from the under-14 team upwards, Coutinho became a key player in the Brazilian squad that won the 2009 South American Under-17 Football Championship, scoring three goals.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Coutinho showed prodigious talent and excelled in Vasco da Gama's youth system. He was signed by Italian club Inter Milan in 2008 for €4 million and subsequently loaned back to Vasco, where he became a key player. He made his debut for Inter Milan in 2010, and was later loaned to La Liga club Espanyol in 2012. In January 2013, Coutinho joined English club Liverpool for £8.5 million. He flourished at Liverpool, being named in the PFA Team of the Year in 2015. In January 2018, Coutinho signed for Barcelona for a club record fee reportedly worth €160 million (making him the world's second most expensive player at the time), and won two La Liga titles. However, he was loaned to German club Bayern Munich on a season-long loan ahead of the 2019–20 season, being a part of the team that won a treble including the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and UEFA Champions League.
