Heartbreak for any player that decided to leave Liverpool in search of Champions League glory. We had Coutinho joining Barca, and Messi magic ended up breaking their hearts even more on 2 successive campaigns after being 3-0 up on aggregate. Then we had Can, who even with Ronaldo magic couldn't even reach the final.
On the other hand, players who fought for their place like Sturridge and even Origi, wow, what a reward.
I do not think football should be judged in that way, players make moves that they eventually go on to probably regret, but that's that for football.On the other hand, players who fought for their place like Sturridge and even Origi, wow, what a reward.
If coutinho had performed at his best in Barcelona, he would not have be sold/loaned in the transfer window and he would have definitely won the champions league with Barcelona someday soon. As for Emery can I do not think Liverpool were actually interested in keeping him. So the success of the team a player leaves shouldn't actually bother such player or make him feel bad, as he could still get more success in his current team.
Players like sturridge and Origi played peripheral roles in Liverpool winning the title, I doubt if history would remember them so much for it.
. While G and H groups looks very balanced and unpredictable. All of these teams can reach next round. My predictions for teams who will advance further:
