After a goalless first half which saw Mohamed Salah forced off with a shoulder injury, Real Madrid broke the deadlock after 51 minutes.
Shot-stopper Karius came off his line to catch a long ball forward.
However, just as the Reds keeper goes to release the ball, Karim Benzema clips it with his foot and it flies into the back of the net.
Karius desperately appealed to the referee but no foul was given.
And unsurprisingly, Liverpool fans were furious with the shocking blunder from Karius.
“Never ever going to forget or forgive Karius. Win or lose,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
Another said: “Karius has made a few good saves but his mistake is comical.”
A third wrote: “If Liverpool lose this game that Karius mistake will be talked about more than the Gerard slip.”
