Steven Gerrard Offers Sympathy to Bayern Munich Star After Slip Costs His Side UCL Final Spot

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has claimed that he sympathises with Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, after the 29-year-old's slip proved to be costly in their semi final clash with Real Madrid on Tuesday.

The Bundesliga champions had looked in total control of the match after Joshua Kimmich opened the scoring in the opening two minutes, with Karim Benzema's quickfire equaliser not tempering Bayern's dominance at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Just seconds into the second half though, Ulreich completely lost his bearings to make a meal of Corentin Tolisso's backpass, allowing Benzema to score his second of the match.
