FC Barcelona have revealed an unusual stat about Philippe Coutinho. Although the Brazilian made the headlines for his poor performances last season, he actually finished the campaign with a record no one else can lay claim to.
Coutinho, who is still involved in the Copa America with Brazil, has played more matches this season - across Europe's biggest leagues - than anybody else.
In total, Barça's number seven featured in 68 matches: 54 with his club side and 14 with Brazil. If his country reaches the final of the Copa America, it would take Coutinho to 70.
To further break down Coutinho's record: 34 matches came in LaLiga, 12 in the Champions League, 7 in the Copa del Rey and one in the Spanish Super Cup. Across those games, he's scored 11 goals: 5 in LaLiga, 3 in the Champions League and three in the Copa.
For Brazil, 10 of his 14 appearances came in friendlies and the remaining 4 in the current Copa America.
Next on the list is Ajax's Daley Blind with 67, then Eden Hazard and Quincy Promes on 66.
