Loris Karius (26) was very agitated after the final defeat against Real Madrid in 2018. Now he is attacking internet trolls.
Liverpool has experienced a dramatic rebound under Jürgen Klopp. Last season the club won the Champions League and this year they are on their way to their first league title in 30 years as the Premier League season is completed.
However, not everything has been a long race, and the defeat of the Champions League against Real Madrid in 2018 has been difficult for Liverpool fans.
Guardian Loris Karius was named the great scapegoat after the finale, and in a new interview with the great newspaper Bild, he opens up about the hate storm that followed.

Pogba responds to criticism: – They miss me
– Right to criticize
Karius made two mistakes that led to a goal in the back when Real Madrid won 3-1 in the final, so he gained fierce compassion afterwards. Criticism has repeatedly turned into death threats, usually from anonymous Internet profiles.
– I think it is common for players to receive this type of comments on the Internet, but it is important to ignore them. If you read everything, you will sleep several nights. But he is totally sick of how people cross the border when they are anonymous. Sure, supporters have a right to criticize, but when it comes to personal attacks and death threats, it’s above the limit, Karius told the German newspaper.
The goalkeeper was hit in the head after a collision with Sergio Ramos on the way to the final. Karius has subsequently said that the head injury was partly responsible for his misdeeds.
– without understanding
The German regrets not being more clear about the cause of the errors.
– I should have been more aggressive in external communication afterwards and say that it was Ramos’ blow that caused a concussion during the game.
– The tests showed that I was correct in my suspicion, but when I found out publicly about the injury I found malice and insults. I have never used it as an excuse, but I don’t understand that people are making fun of someone who has hurt their head. The reactions were beyond the limit, he says.
Karius was loaned to Besiktas in 2018 and is slated to return to Liverpool in June.
– I do not want to interfere in speculation, but the fact is that I am under contract with Liverpool until 2022, he tells Bild.
Liverpool were out of the Champions League quarterfinals after losing to Atlético Madrid. Now the tournament has been postponed due to the corona virus. Not all teams played game number two in the quarterfinals and these remain:
