Loris Karius' Liverpool career was all-but ended by Real Madrid in 2018 Champions League final

It would be rather poignant for Loris Karius to bring the curtain down on his Liverpool career by watching his team-mates exorcise the demons of 2018.

He won't get to exorcise his own, unfortunately. Not since 2018, and that fateful night in Kyiv, has 28-year-old Karis pulled on a Liverpool shirt for a competitive match.

Jurgen Klopp cut his losses and spent £67million on Alisson Becker. Liverpool's future would have no space for a confidence-shy Karius.

Those 90 minutes in Kyiv, in which he was culpable for two of Real Madrid's three goals, humiliated him with the world watching.
