Former defender of Liverpool Phil Thompson believes that having left for Barcelona, ??Philippe Coutinho lost the right to a medal in case the "reds" win the Champions League.

Filipe Coutinho, who played five games and scored five goals for Liverpool in the current Champions League, is formally eligible for a gold medal in the event of the Reds' victory on May 26 in Kiev, but former Liverpool defender Phil Thompson does not agree.

"He exchanged Liverpool for Barcelona, ??so he is not eligible for the award," Sky Sports quoted Thompson as saying. - In its place I would give up the medal, even if Jurgen Klopp decided to give it to him ".

Phil Thompson played for Liverpool from 1971 to 1984 and won three "Champions Cup" with the "reds" (1977, 1978, 1981), two UEFA Cups (1973, 1976), the UEFA Super Cup (1977), seven English titles (1973 , 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983), the FA Cup (1974), two League Cups (1981, 1982) and six Super Bowls of England (1974, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1982).
