Germany legend Kahn fears for Liverpool keeper Karius: It can destroy a career

Bayern Munich and Germany legend Oliver Kahn fears for the career of Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius.

Two shocking blunders from the German helped Real Madrid win last night's Champions League final 3-1.

"Words fail, I cannot remember ever having seen anything so cruel in a final, from a goalkeeper's point of view," said Kahn.

"An evening like it can destroy a career, you need time to process it, as a keeper it was cruel to look at.

"From now on it does not matter anymore if he plays well, and he gets to hear: 'Yes, today you were good, but do you remember what happened in the final?'

"The existence as a goalkeeper is unfair and there is no consolation, the question is whether he can get out of it, he has to be very strong mentally."
