After committing not one but TWO massive blunders, Loris Karius gave a heartbreaking post-match interview.

A distraught Karius immediately apologised to the traveling Liverpool fans after his second-half howlers which led to pair of Real Madrid goals.

Karim Benzema opened the scoring in the Champions League final courtesy of an awful throw from the German keeper. And he made another costly error for Real Madrid's third goal.

Gareth Bale bagged his second goal of the night from long range after Karius failed to hold onto the ball.

While his Liverpool teammates refused to pin the blame on him, the 24-year-old acknowledged his gaffe, admitting he lost his side the game.

"I don't feel anything right now. Today I lost my team the game," he told talkSPORT.

"I feel sorry for everyone. I'm sorry for everyone, for the team, for the whole club. The mistakes cost us dearly."

Karius added: "If I could go back in time I would. I just feel sorry for my team. I know I let them down today.

"It is very hard right now, but that is the life of a goalkeeper. You have got to get your head up again.

"For now, I'm just really sorry for everyone that those goals cost us the title basically."

He then described his second mistake, claiming the ball moved around a lot in the air before eventually reaching him.

"It moved around a lot. I tried to catch it, maybe I should have done it safer and just put it out of play instead of trying to catch it.

"I judged it wrong and it went in."

A tearful Karius cut a dejected figure at full-time.

Does he still have a future at Anfield?
