The German goalkeeper has left Liverpool after a testing period in England to rebuild his career during a two-year loan spell at Turkish side Besiktas

At that point it was yet to be revealed that a much-maligned figure had suffered concussion during a clash with Blancos skipper Sergio Ramos, with glaring errors being put down to nerves or a lack of concentration.
