Loris Karius Makes Huge Mistake For Real Madrid Opener

The last thing you want to do in a Champions League final is gift the opposition a goal but that's exactly what Loris Karius did against Real Madrid.

Ever since he joined Liverpool Jurgen Klopp has had an issue with his goalkeepers with first Simon Mignolet making mistakes and then Loris Karius, who Klopp bought, also not looking consistently good enough.

There has forever been rumours about the Reds signing a new goalkeeper but the German has stood by his men, especially since Karius became his preferred choice as number one.

However in the Champions League final second half the 24 year old made a huge mistake. Collecting the ball in his area he threw the ball straight at Karim Benzema's outstretched foot and had to watch on in horror as the ball rolled in:

Karius will be very grateful for Sadio Mane's quick thinking for Liverpool's equaliser just minutes later.
