Philippe Coutinho will receive a medal following Liverpool's Champions League final against Real Madrid in Kiev.

Anfield officials have decided that the Brazilian's contribution to the campaign should be recognised, despite the fact he left for Barcelona in a £142million move back in January.

Liverpool reluctantly agreed to sell him after Coutinho demanded that he was allowed to leave in the winter window. Having played for the Reds earlier in the competition, he wasn't eligible to feature for Barca in the knockout stages.

UEFA regulations state that the Champions League winners are given 40 gold medals and the runners-up are handed 30 silver medals after each final. Distributing them is at each club's discretion.

The former Inter Milan playmaker scored five goals in his five Champions League appearances for the Reds, including a hat-trick against Spartak Moscow when he captained the side in the final group game at Anfield back in December.

Jurgen Klopp has always insisted he didn't bear a grudge against Coutinho for pursuing the move to Barcelona and a medal will be dispatched to Catalonia.
