The Liverpool goalkeeper seemed to have little support of his team-mates after his shocker in the Champions League final.

Loris Karius of Liverpool breaks down in tears after defeat in the UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool on May 26, 2018 in Kiev, Ukraine.

Loris Karius apologised to his Liverpool team-mates and supporters on Twitter yesterday after a horror show in Kiev on Saturday night.

Liverpool lost 3-1 to Real Madrid in a Champions League final and the German goalkeeper was largely to blame for two of Real’s three goals.

First, Karius’s throw out was blocked by Karim Benzema as the ball trickled into an empty net for the game’s opener, before the former Mainz keeper fluffed a Gareth Bale shot toward the end.

Visibly upset, the 24-year-old was consoled by a number of Real Madrid players at full time but there seemed to be a lack of support from his Liverpool team-mates at the final whistle.

Club captain Jordan Henderson refused to blame Karius in his post-match interview, but fans on Twitter are wondering why the England international did not console his colleague in the immediate aftermath of the game.
