Barcelona have confirmed that Philippe Coutinho has been given the number 14 shirt at Camp Nou.
Earlier this month, Coutinho completed a big-money transfer from Liverpool to the Catalan giants, but Barcelona held off giving the playmaker a shirt number.
Reports suggested that Coutinho would be handed the number 14 shirt once Javier Mascherano completed a transfer to Hebei China Fortune, and the La Liga leaders have acknowledged that the Brazilian international will now wear that number.
Suits you, @Phil_Coutinho!

Despite spending two weeks at his new side, Coutinho is yet to make his debut as he continues to recover from a thigh injury.
The 25-year-old is expected to appear for the first at some stage over the next 10 days.
