Champions League: Real Madrid-Liverpool was the strangest final ever
By Orri Benatar
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…..
A fan prevents Ronaldo from scoring
This Ronaldo fan is sure not one of Ronaldo’s favorite people. Ronaldo was one move away from scoring in another Champions League final until this idiot ran after him during play.

After all this evidence, you cannot convince me that any other football final was weirder than this. If you find one, feel free to tweet at me with why (@obenatar512).
