Philippe Coutinho has warned Barcelona that Liverpool possess a greater threat than just their attacking trio.

The Reds will be relying on Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah to get on the scoresheet when the two teams meet at the Camp Nou on Wednesday for the Champions League semi-final first leg.

But former Liverpool midfielder Coutinho knows Barca face a stern test against Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Brazilian told Barcelona's official website: "They are a great team. They are very strong mentally.

"I have been watching them all season and they are excellent going forward and in defence, so we will have to be very alert.

"There are important players for them but it's not just those three [Mane, Firmino, Salah]. There are the defenders, the midfielders who are all quality players and work hard to create goals for the team.

"We will have to be aware of the whole team and do our jobs as we have recently."
