WATCH: Philippe Coutinho Shows Exactly Why Barcelona Want Him With Trademark Strike

Liverpool have won the coveted Premier League Asia trophy, and as per usual, Philippe Coutinho has played a starring role.

Playing against Leicester City in Hong Kong, the diminutive Brazilian churned in the sort of performance that has led Barcelona to bid £72 million for his services.

As if a silky chipped assist for Mohamed Salah to equalise wasn't enough, the Liverpool No.10 put the Reds ahead with a trademark strike.

You know how it goes - he cuts in from the left, feints a couple of times and picks out the far corner with an inch-perfect curler.

He just doesn't score bad goals, does he? It's the sort of goal you could watch endlessly on loop.

Here's how Liverpool fans reacted:

Liverpool simply cannot let him go this summer, can they? He is the hub of their attacking play and his goal and assist today is further evidence of his supreme qualities.

Liverpool fans will be praying that when Jurgen Klopp says Coutinho is not for sale, unlike situations with Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez before, the club will keep their word.
