Karius went into Saturday’s showdown with Real as Liverpool’s No 1 having won his personal battle with Simon Mignolet this season. He left Jurgen Klopp with a goalkeeping headache though after his two huge errors handed a third Champions League title on the spin to Real. Karius threw the ball into Karim Benzema before watching it nestle in the net for Real’s opener, and he followed that up seven minutes from time when he diverted a long-range Gareth Bale shot into the goal. Loris Karius in floods of tears after Champions League final howlers Sun, May 27, 2018 Loris Karius was in floods of tears after Liverpool lost the Champions League final, but which of his team-mates consoled him? Play slideshow Getty Images 1 of 13 Loris Karius was distraught following his mistakes in the Champions league final Karius was upset and apologetic after the full-time whistle, making his feelings known to the travelling Liverpool support. Hamann has now slammed his countryman in the wake of his Champions League final showing, which came 13 years on from his own heroics in Istanbul. "My sympathy with Karius is limited," Hamann told German outlet Sport Bild. "We don't have to discuss that he decided the final with his two mistakes. Liverpool ace Loris Karius brutally slammed by Champions League hero Didi Hamann Liverpool ace Loris Karius brutally slammed by Champions League hero Didi Hamann "Something like that can also happen to a professional footballer. But what I didn't like was his behaviour afterwards. "To publicly show his suffering after the final whistle was just as unnecessary as his tearful asking for forgiveness from the Reds fans." Hamann then went on to claim Karius has no right to have an ego like that of Cristiano Ronaldo at this stage of his career. Klopp 'feels' for Loris Karius after Champions League defeat<doc-sep>Liverpool goalkeeper confirmed to have sustained concussion in the Champions League final. Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius ended the Champions League final in tears as his dream turned into a nightmare. He was directly at fault for two of Real Madrid’s three second half goals in Kiev. Real won the game 3-1 and Karius faces the axe this summer at Liverpool weigh up a change in goal. But did Karius have a legitimate excuse for his perplexing errors? STEVE BRUCE MUST GO SkySports report that medical tests since the game show Karius sustained a concussion during the match. He underwent testing in America over the past week and the results have confirmed the Reds’ doctors’ suspicions. One possible moment he sustained the blow was early in the second half when Sergio Ramos appeared to collide with him at a set piece. At this stage the score was 0-0, and his first error came minutes later. The revelation will not undo Karius’ mistakes, but it could help him try and come to terms with his error a bit better and understand why it happened. What Liverpool do with it is another matter. Do they now back Karius, or replace him anyway? Will it be enough to save his Liverpool career? The reaction from fans is certainly very split, and not all are buying it.

So #Ramos WAS the villain with that cheeky elbow! #Karius #LFC https://t.co/KmTBpDQE3o — Chris Brown (@That_Kid_Chris) June 4, 2018 This content could not be loaded After the news that’s just surfaced, i think it’s all but confirmed that we will not be spending much on a world class GK as we will still give Karius a chance. Would easily be the worst decision Klopp has made since coming here. #LFC — Shibesh D (@What_aHitSon) June 4, 2018 This content could not be loaded Feel for the lad and this may well have been a huge factor in the mistakes that were made but we needed a world class keeper before the final and we still need one now #LFC #Kariushttps://t.co/ETcxIpYits — Daniel Gore (@KoptimusPrime) June 4, 2018 This content could not be loaded Karius getting an elbow to the face and instantly alerting the referee. Only for the ref to make him continue, thus resulting in 2 errors, and us losing the CL. Karius had shown massive improvement prior to this. Might be worth spending £80m elsewhere? #LFC pic.twitter.com/cRLIQAxSLV — Liam Grimshaw (@LiamGrimshawLFC) June 4, 2018 This content could not be loaded You know what, I hope we get Real next season and I hope we absolutely destroy them with @LorisKarius the hero. #LFC #YNWA https://t.co/Gbv7RKrqnD — Shareef (@86Shareef) June 4, 2018 This content could not be loaded I was fully behind Loris Karius being number 1 before today’s news. I hope the rest of the fan base can get behind him in light of it. #LFC — Dan Allott (@dan_allott) June 4, 2018 This content could not be loaded And there goes any bid for Oblak and Allison. Warped club. Don’t buy this story for a second. What were the Liverpool medical staff. Karius surely displayed symptoms during the game and post game that would have alerted team mates and staff. Strange! #LFC https://t.co/Wl8o0Smeki — David Fitzmaurice (@Fitzie77) June 4, 2018 This content could not be loaded As a @LFC fan, this is embarrassing. Concerned this is a plot to try and save his career so he’s playable again next season #LFC #Karius https://t.co/YCENoqCISF — Gavin (@gps1006) June 4, 2018 In other news, ‘He coached me’: Rhys Williams makes claim about Liverpool teammate after last night<doc-sep>Remember the Champions League final at the end of May when Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1, with the Reds suffering two unbelievable blunders from goalkeeper Loris Karius? There was the gift to Karim Benzema and the horrible attempted save on Gareth Bale's second goal. Everyone wondered, how in the world could Karius have committed both of those errors. Well, after being examined in the United States, it turns out he played the final with a concussion. The Massachusetts General Hospital confirmed that Karius it happened during the match. "After carefully reviewing game film and integrating a detailed history -- including his reported present and immediate post-contact subjective symptoms -- physical examination and objective metrics, we have concluded that Mr. Karius sustained a concussion during the match," the hospital said in a statement. "At the time of our evaluation, Mr. Karius's principal residual symptoms and objective signs suggested that visual spatial dysfunction existed and likely occurred immediately following the event. Additional symptomatic and objectively noted areas of dysfunction also persisted. It could be possible that such deficits would affect performance." You might be wondering at what part of the game he may have suffered the head injury. It's something that went unnoticed by many, but he took a vicious elbow to the head by Sergio Ramos. Yes, the same guy that nearly ended Mohamed Salah's World Cup hopes. Here's the elbow: It's a shame fans weren't treated to a final where both sides were at full strength for 90 minutes. It makes you wonder what could have been had he never taken that elbow. Just how would the match have played out? It also makes you wonder if there will be more attention paid to concussions in the sport, as we've seen a big increase in other sports like football.<doc-sep>Imagine a counter-narrative for what happened to Loris Karius in the Champions League final in Kiev. First, Sergio Ramos is already on a booking for pulling Mohamed Salah down with excessive force. Then, in the 49th minute, Real Madrid’s captain uses the momentum created by a push in the back from Virgil van Dijk to elbow Liverpool’s goalkeeper in the head, and the match officials rumble him, prompting Milorad Mazic, the referee, to send him off. Madrid are reduced to 10 for 41 minutes. There is another issue for Mazic to sort. Karius has indicated to the referee and linesman that he was elbowed in the face, and is clearly upset, and possibly hurt. So the officials stop the game for Karius to be examined by Liverpool’s medical staff. As there is the possibility of head injury – or, at least, some risk of disorientation – Liverpool’s medics take no chances and Karius is replaced by Simon Mignolet, who, two minutes later, does not throw the ball out so close to Karim Benzema that Real Madrid’s centre-forward is able to stick his leg out and score. One other thing doesn’t happen. When Gareth Bale hits a speculative drive from 40 yards, Mignolet does not raise his gloves and parry the ball into his own net to seal Liverpool’s defeat.<doc-sep>
Loris Karius was public enemy number one in Liverpool following his two horrific mistakes in the Champions League final against Real Madrid. Karius rolled the ball into Karim Benzema’s leg to give Madrid a 1-0 lead in Kiev before he fumbled Gareth Bale’s long-range effort to hand the Spanish side a 3-1 victory. The German goalkeeper broke down in tears after the match and apologised to the travelling supporters. His Liverpool career was surely over. However, on Monday, Karius may have received a Liverpool career lifeline. Just minutes before his first mistake, Karius received an elbow to the head by Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos. As a result, Liverpool sent their ‘keeper for a head scan to make sure no damage had been done. Karius had gone to the United States on holiday where he was referred to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment. And they confirmed that Karius suffered damage that suggested he should not have continued after the clash with Ramos. KARIUS SUFFERED CONCUSSION “On May 31, 2018 Mr. Karius underwent a comprehensive examination by Dr. Ross Zafonte and Dr. Lenore Herget in Boston at Massachusetts General Hospital and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital,” the statement began. “After carefully reviewing game film and integrating a detailed history – including his reported present and immediate post-contact subjective symptoms – physical examination and objective metrics, we have concluded that Mr. Karius sustained a concussion during the match May 26, 2018. “At the time of our evaluation, Mr. Karius’s principal residual symptoms and objective signs suggested that visual spatial dysfunction existed and likely occurred immediately following the event.” You can see the full statement below: KARIUS' REACTION AFTER SERGIO RAMOS ELBOWED HIM After the scan results were revealed, one video has been doing the rounds on Twitter. Not only does it show Ramos’ seemingly purposely barging into Karius, it shows his reaction. Karius does look slightly dazed and complains to both the assistant behind the goal and the referee. However, they clearly wave away the protests and allow play to continue. The Liverpool Echo claim that treatment was eventually allowed before Karius was deemed fir to continue. News Now - Sport News
