From fallen goalkeeper to bodybuilder, what becomes of Loris Karius after his catastrophic performance in 2018


Author of two big blunders in the 2018 final, the German goalkeeper fell into oblivion.

With his sumptuous bicycle, Gareth Bale thought he had left his mark on the final, like Cristiano Ronaldo, author of a similar gesture against Juventus a few weeks earlier. However, with his two monumental errors, Loris Karius managed to steal the show. The first in the form of a raise blocked by Benzema for the opener, the second by releasing a floating but central strike from Bale on the 3-1.

Under the eyes of a Simon Mignolet confined to the bench, Karius buried Liverpool’s hopes in the final and his career with the Reds at the same time. The German goalkeeper still belongs to the club but has never put on his jacket since that tragic evening. Priority of the transfer window, the problem at his post was quickly resolved with the arrival of Alisson for 62 million.
