Coutinho included in Barca-themed secret santa; Luis Suarez gifts LFC ace Vodka

Posted by

Imagine if Steven Gerrard and Virgil van Dijk posed for cameras and exchanged Secret Santa gifts…

Southampton would be on to the FA faster than they were in June.

But it seems Barcelona and their players can do anything they like…

Neymar (now of PSG, of course) organised a Secret Santa present swap as part of a programme on his circle of friends for Brazilian channel SBT.

It’s all pre-organised and involves camera crews in Barcelona (for his former teammates) and at Coutinho’s house in Liverpool.

First, Suarez pulls his name out of the hat…

“It’s my little brother, Philippe Coutinho,” he says.

“Well Philippe, from Barcelona I send you a gift that I know you’ll like a lot, because you like it a lot and I know you’re going to remember the good times that we have and that we live.”

It comes in a Barcelona bag and is a bottle of Vodka that Phil apparently used to like when they were team-mates together.

“What the f***?,” he replies.

“When Luis was here his wife liked to take it and so did I. I thank you.”

Totally shameless!

Never mind. Barca can keep trying every trick under the sun. Liverpool aren’t selling in January.
