'Champions League howlers will haunt Karius' - Liverpool legend Clemence feels for German goalkeeper

Liverpool great Ray Clemence sympathises with Loris Karius but admits he is unsure if the goalkeeper can remain at the club after his Champions League final nightmare.

Karius was at fault for Real Madrid's first and third goals as the La Liga giants ultimately eased to glory with a 3-1 victory in Kiev.

The German was distraught after the match and apologised for costing Liverpool in their first appearance on European football's biggest stage since 2007.

Jurgen Klopp said the club would rally around the 24-year-old, but Clemence - who won three European Cups with the Reds - is concerned by the long-term impact the performance could have.
