Karius’ worst mistake

Loris Karius was the man everyone was pointing fingers at after the final whistle blew. The first goal was a slight mistake, but this second one was quite possibly the worst mistake a keeper has made in a major final. Bale shoots at him and Karius kind of just slips it in.

Karius was inconsolable after Liverpool lost and he even apologized to the fans in the stands while walking around the field. For a striker, missing a big chance doesn’t haunt the striker as much as a goalkeeping error haunts the keeper. It’s hard for a goalie to become great again after making a massive mistake.

So, we have two injuries, Benzema’s goal, Bale’s bicycle kick, Karius mistakes, and…..
