Loris Karius: Liverpool star backed by pundit after Champions League final shocker
LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Loris Karius needs the support of his team-mates following his shocking performance against Real Madrid.
That is the opinion of BT Sport pundit and former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard.
Karius was at fault for two of Real Madrid’s goals in the 3-1 Champions League final defeat.
The German was in floods of tears at the end of the game and Lampard admits he feels sorry for him.
But he also says the mistakes ultimately cost Liverpool the game tonight.
On a human level you feel absolute sadness for him
“Listen, on a human level you feel absolute sadness for him,” Lampard said of the Liverpool star.
“That’s for life now, that evening. Mistakes like that are not for this level. Champions League finals, they shouldn’t be happening.
“Both of them, particularly the first one which kind of changed the momentum of the game.
“I can’t believe what I’ve seen.
“We also have to say there, it’s a horrible, horrible moment for him.
“I’m feeling sorry for him and he needs some big support from his team-mates and everyone around him.
“No matter what his future is, football goes a bit to the side there.
“He didn’t mind that but he’s cost him the game.”
