‘I lost my team the game and I feel sorry’: Liverpool keeper Loris Karius takes blame after nightmare night in Kiev

The German gifted Real their opening goal in the 51st minute when, hurrying to start an attack, he threw the ball out in front of Real striker Karim Benzema, who stuck his leg out and turned the ball into the net.
Karius, 24, was also at fault for Real’s third goal when Gareth Bale tried a speculative long-range effort which flew in through the flapping arms of the Liverpool keeper.

“I don’t feel anything right now. Today I lost my team the game and I feel sorry for everyone,” Karius said.
“I’m sorry for everyone – from the team, from the whole club – that the mistakes cost dearly. If I could go back in time, I would. I feel sorry for my team. I know I let them down today.

“These goals cost us the title, basically,” he added.
