Callum Wilson says Loris Karius has a point to prove in the Carabao Cup final after high-profile mistakes made the keeper's career "take a nosedive".
Karius, 29, could be in goal for Newcastle against Manchester United at Wembley on Sunday, with Nick Pope suspended and Martin Dubravka cup-tied.
The ex-Liverpool keeper was blamed for two of Real Madrid's three goals in the 2018 Champions League final in Kyiv.
"He has so much to prove to people," Newcastle striker Wilson told BBC 5 Live's The Footballer's Football Podcast.
"That game made his career take a nosedive, so he has so much to prove to people.
"He's got more inspiration to turn peoples' opinions of him around than anyone else in the stadium.
"There are so many emotional attachments to this game that I think it is going to be a special day."
