German legend Oliver Kahn fears for career of Liverpool goalie Loris Karius

Former Bayern Munich and Germany goalkeeper Olivier Kahn has admitted that he fears for the career of his fellow German Loris Karius.

Two basic goalkeeping mistakes from Karius on Saturday gifted Real Madrid with two goals and allowed them to defeat Liverpool 3-1 in the Champions League final in Kiev.

The German’s attempted throw was blocked into the net by Karim Benzema for Real’s first goal while he parried Gareth Bale’s long-range shot into the goal which made the score 3-1 and all but sealed victory for Zinedine Zidane’s side.

“Words fail, I cannot remember ever having seen anything so cruel in a final, from a goalkeeper’s point of view,” said Kahn.
