Dietmar Hamann, a former Champions League winner with Liverpool, has criticised the Reds’ goalkeeper Loris Karius for his tearful behaviour after the European final defeat against Real Madrid.
Karius’ double mistakes in Kiev allowed Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale to snatch goals for Real in a 3-1 defeat and the 24-year-old goalkeeper cut a sad figure as he tearfully applauded travelling fans after the final whistle.
“My sympathy with Karius is limited.We don’t have to discuss that he decided the final with his two mistakes.Something like that can also happen to a professional footballer.But what I didn’t like was his behaviour afterwards.To publically show his suffering after the final whistle was just as unnecessary as his tearful asking for forgiveness from the Reds fans,” Hamann told magazine Sport Bild.
