Loris Karius

Story highlights

German legend Oliver Kahn said that Karius' performance in the final is the stuff that could ruin his career

Real Madrid clinched the title for the third consecutive time after defeating Liverpool 3-1 in an action-packed match at NSC Olimpiyskiy stadium in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Gareth Bale who was substituted in the second half scored two stunners and that handed Real Madrid Champions League title.

Also, Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius did two major errors that were an add-on advantage for Real Madrid.

It was a night that will haunt Karius forever and it might also end the career of the distraught goalkeeper.

A careless, casual and foolish attempt of goalkeeper while defending gave Kareem Benzema to take an advantage over Liverpool.

Karius was also at fault for having allowed Gareth Bale's second goal – a long-range effort – to escape his grasp.

Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp said that the entire Liverpool team is with Loris Karius after his horror show in the Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid.

Another German legend Oliver Kahn, a Champions League winner with Bayern in 2001 interacted with media and said, "I'm lost for words, I can't remember having experienced something more brutal from a goalkeeping point of view than in this final."

He further added, "An evening like this can destroy a career."

Initially, the Reds were dominating the game but after Mohamed Salah's ouster, the level of Liverpool's performance dropped especially in the secondhalf.
