Barcelona target Philippe Coutinho was involved and Sadio Mane returned as Liverpool turned in a classy 3-0 victory over Hertha Berlin.
Philippe Coutinho captained Liverpool despite continued reports he is nearing a move to Barcelona and Sadio Mane made his return from injury as the Reds outclassed Hertha Berlin 3-0 on Saturday.
Reports in Spain have suggested that Brazil star Coutinho is on Barca’s radar should his international team-mate Neymar complete a world-record move to Paris Saint-Germain.
However, the skilful playmaker travelled to Berlin to wear the captain’s armband in a match that celebrated the 125th anniversaries of both clubs and was influential in Liverpool’s third goal that completed a well-deserved win.
