Liverpool goalkeeper, Loris Karius made two disastrous mistakes directly leading to two Real Madrid goals resulted in a nightmare at the Champions League final in Kiev. Karius’ heartache was on show for the world to see upon the final whistle being sounded, as he walked towards the travelling Reds supporters and apologised with tears streaming down his face.
“What can I say? Loris knows it, everybody knows it. It’s a shame in a game like this and after a season like this. I really feel for him; he’s a fantastic boy,” said Klopp, speaking after the game.
“Nobody wants that, [but] that’s the situation. The mistakes were obvious, we don’t have to talk about that, it’s all clear; he knows it, I know it, you all know it.
“Now, he has to deal with it, we have to deal with it, we will do that, of course, we will be with him, there’s no doubt about that. It was not his night, obviously.”
Karius wasn’t the only one moved to tears inside the stadium on Saturday, as a result of the German’s unfortunate errors.
According to The Independent, both Karius’ mother and his girlfriend held each other and sobbed while the game was still being played. The pair were distraught for Karius, whose mistakes got the better of him – shattering his confidence – and resulted in Europe’s biggest prize slipping away.
The report goes on to explain how Klopp’s wife Ulla Sandrock, who was sitting a few rows behind Karius’ mother and girlfriend, spotted the duo holding each other in tears.
Ulla responded by leaving her seat and wondering down towards the pair to offer her support and attempt to console them.
