The goalkeeper was marked by his fateful performance in the definition of the Reds against the meringues, for the Champions League, in 2018. After passing through Turkey and Germany, he returned for this season to the cast of Anfield, but it has such an eloquent negative balance sheet: zero citations. Enjoy the time spent working your body in the gym.
Less and less to do the grand final of the Champions League, between Real Madrid and Liverpool, at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. The meeting between the merengues and the Reds, next Saturday (3:00 p.m. in Chile), presents a wide range of variants that give it a special appeal. One of them is that the definition that was given in 2018, in Kyiv, is reissued. On this occasion, the Spaniards beat the English 3 to 1, reaching their 13th European Cup. this confrontation will be marked by the poor performance of the Liverpool goalkeeper: Loris Karius.
With 61,561 spectators at the Ukrainian capital’s Olympic Stadium, now plagued by wounds left by the Russian invasion, Zinedine Zidane’s team beat Jürgen Klopp’s team, a victory that had the contributed by German goalkeeper, responsible for two of the three meringue goals. At minute 51, a bad start from Karius allows Karim Benzema to score. Then, seven minutes from the epilogue, he looked very weak before a strike from Gareth Bale, sneaking into his goal. A night to forget.
What happened to the German goalkeeper, whose career was marked by fire for this dark night in the Champions League, who even saw his Wikipedia profile modified after this match?
His fateful end opened the door for him to leave the Anfield club, who ended up signing Brazilian Alisson Becker. Thus, Karius went on loan to Besiktas in Turkey, where he spent two seasons and had great continuity in the Ottoman Super League. In May 2020, the goalkeeper himself announced that he was not going to continue in Istanbul. Adding the 18-19 and 19-20 seasons, he played 55 league games with the Eagles. Towards the 2020-2021 campaign, he was loaned again and found himself at Union Berlin, of the German Bundesliga. There he played little: only 291 minutes in four games of the local tournament.
Last year he returned to Liverpool, but he has no place in the team. Alisson is the Reds’ undisputed number one, while the replacement is 23-year-old Irishman Caoimhin Kelleher, who has been fielded by Klopp in local cup games. Karius’ record this season, which ends for his club with the Champions League final, is telling: zero citation. He had no official activity. He hasn’t played since February 2021. He hasn’t played a game for points in over a year.

Faced with this inactivity in football, the 28-year-old German goalkeeper took advantage of the time to work hard indoors. In fact, it features a bulkier build than it did years ago. Through his social networks he showed his physical activity, which has become almost addictive, as evidenced by his own words on Instagram.
“Once you see the results, it becomes addictive,” is one of the messages he exhibited, touting his training and also the variety of his tattoos.
Karius is part of Klopp’s squad, albeit in very last position. The stars will play for the Champions League trophy against Orejona’s best friend Real Madrid. The big game of the year at club level.
