Liverpool goalkeeper coach John Achterberg says he'd never consider criticising Loris Karius in public.

The German is back with Liverpool this season after two years away on-loan.

As many Reds fans will no doubt remember, German stopper Karius was at fault for two of Real Madrid's goals as they triumphed 3-1 in the 2018 Champions League final.

But goalkeeper coach Achterberg has insisted some three and a half years later that he has absolutely nothing bad to say about the 28-year-old, suggesting there were no hard feelings towards him from the club.

“You hope that your goalkeepers make as few mistakes as possible," Achterberg told AD.

“Karius making a mistake in the final against Real Madrid? You win together, and you lose together. It can make or break a career, but I can't say anything negative about him.

“No, not even in my book. Like I said, it's not that kind of book. People should buy other books for that.

“In my book, Klopp talks about how we work together. And how it is to work every day at perhaps the biggest club on earth."
