    God, I hate Real. Ramos taking out Salah was brutal. Mane has it in him to take over a game but no discipline.

    3 years in a row somehow. Bastards.

    Really hope Salah's injury is not too serious. Egypt is my hope to eliminate Russia quickly in the World Cup. If they advance, Egypt could face Spain and Ramos in the Round of 16.

    I dun think that way. Real players were just the first to get to him, to console, no need to overthink/overinterpret here.

    Camera panned always to him, understandable.

    Dark, dark day for him. Wish him the best.

    Ramadan mubarak, Sadio and Mohamed!

    my goodness, thank god i overslept and missed the game. here's to hoping ramos gets into a violent accident and is forced into retirement and has to walk funny with discomfort for the rest of his life.

    Looks like Ronaldo is done at Real?

    Ronaldo roughly saying "It has been nice playing for Madrid. I'll let the fans know about my decision in the upcoming days".

    Sounds like he's leaving, plausible when you read the Spiegel investigations on him facing years in jail for his tax case if he stays in Spain.

    Quite difficult not to get to him first when none of the Liverpool players or staff went to him for at least 5min after the game ended. Usually this is the first thing you do after a teammate has a terrible game.

    I've seen it up close...players can be unforgiving when it is clear that a teammate ruined it for their team.

    One error is forgiven.

    One error in a game of this magnitude can also possibly be forgiven.

    Two errors, in a game of this magnitude, with both errors completely unacceptable at this level, and both pretty much deciding the final outcome, are going to be very hard for players and managers to put aside and move on with, after all the hard work they have put in all season long.

    it's easier to move on when you get outplayed. It's not easy to move on from this. For years these players will be thinking what if. They will constantly be reminded of this game and the errors each time they see Karius and his face in practice. i cant see how he will be the same after today. He will always question himself in and out of games. And I cant see how the defenders in front of him will be confident of him. Dont see how Klopp stays with him either. Manager's trust in a player is the most important thing to that player and how do you trust a guy after this disaster?

    You simply cannot make those kind of errors at this level, especially two in the same match, He was rattled after the first blunder which is why he made the second blunder.

    good. fugg that suckyass beesh. i hope he is constantly reminded how he ruined the finals and lfc teammates continue to treat him like an invisible man. he and mignolet have no business being on a cl team. klopp needs make this his top priority.

    oh and hope ramos gets in a car accident. i don't even care about being pc at the moment.

    I find it hard to believe people do that. I mean, Bayern's Ulreich had one of those too. I dun think there was a fuss about that.

    karius made error after error and he wasn't even that good to begin with. his hate is more justified. he sucked in the epl too.

    They need a steadier hand for sure but I think Karius is young enough to be the 2nd guy.

    Klopp must love him for some reason. You are either the hero or the village idiot.

    Even if one is just a keeper in the junior team, lol.

    yeah can't understand why klopp loves him so much. even after mignolet outperforms him time and time again, yet he keeps getting the call up. maybe our german brehs are in the know.

    karius is only 24, but after this shitshow, he'll never recover and will probably stay a shitty player forever. plus his potential wasn't really that high to begin with. reminds me of stromile swift.

    But have you seen Gareth Monkey King that great again? That was bad luck.

    That goal was just something else, happens 1/1000 times.

    that was a great kick and a schitty keeping, powerful combination. when you suck, you don't call it bad luck.

    He always pulls this crap. It's always when the spotlight is on someone other than him or when Madrid wins and he's a 5/10.

    This was not a feel good win. Ramos taking Salah out. Karius assists Benzema's goal, shortarms Bale's wonder strike that looked saveable, and obviously the last goal any professional could have punched out.

    Bale also left his future in doubt. Wrong place and time to complain even though he would be starting every week on any other team in the world.

    There's also the possibility that they were just shell shocked after the whistle blew that they weren't even thinking of Karius.
    But you're probably right.

    I know neither Mignolet nor Karius are top of the pops but I always thought Mignolet was better for Liverpool. Klopp just loves Karius.
