Watch: Philippe Coutinho Provides Absolutely Sublime Assist For Salah In Berlin

With speculation building that Barcelona want to pry Philippe Coutinho away from Liverpool, the Brazilian genius showed exactly why the Merseyside club will be doing everything they can to keep him.

Jurgen Klopp brought his Liverpool side to Berlin for a friendly with Hertha on Saturday evening, and the highlight was undoubtedly a goal from new boy Mohamed Salah that came about thanks to a sensational long ball from Coutinho.

Dominic Solanke put the Reds in front with a well-placed header before Gini Wijnaldum doubled the score before half time, but when Coutinho saw Salah making a run through the middle of the Hertha backline just after the hour mark, he pinged an absolute beauty to set up the third.

That was a bit special.

His shooting, dribbling, and close control are often what people mention when talking up Coutinho, but he's got an eye for a pass as well so he really does have everything in the locker for a player in his position.

It's no surprise Barca want him, but there's no way Liverpool will make it easy for them.
