Barcelona hero Rivaldo concedes Philippe Coutinho is struggling to handle the pressure at the Nou Camp.

Coutinho has not yet been able to find his best form since he signed for the Catalan club, and has even been subject to whistles from his own fans in recent times.

"Coutinho isn't handling the pressure well," Rivaldo explained.

"It's clear he doesn't have the confidence to show his ability, it's difficult to explain why this has happened.

"Maybe he needs to show more personality to impose his quality on the pitch," he said in an interview with Betfair.
