24-year-old "Liverpool" goalkeeper Loris Karius will not soon forget the nightmare of the UEFA Champions League final - his childhood mistakes cost the "Reds" the title.
In the final held in Kiev, Madrid's "Real" defeated their opponents with a score of 3-1 in the second half. Two goals came precisely after goalkeeper errors - the first time L. Karius tried to clear the ball, he hit Karim Benzema's foot, and the next time he failed to stop a fairly simple shot from Gareth Bale.
Immediately after the match, L. Karius burst into tears and walked off to apologize to the fans.
"I don't feel anything. I know I lost the game for my team," the goalkeeper said. "I want to apologize to all the fans. These mistakes cost us the victory. If only I could correct them..."
"I let the team down. I feel sorry for all the guys. I can't accurately describe how bad I feel right now. I can only apologize for my mistakes costing us the title," the German added.
Before you consider wading into Loris Karius today, spend 20 seconds watching this from last night and remember he's only 24 years old. #LFC @LFC #Karius pic.twitter.com/H7yUXlATP7
