We re-watched that Lorius Karius Champions League castro-f**k to see if he really was *that* bad for Liverpool.
A confident start for Karius. This bodes well. He’s off his line smartly to punch clear as an offside Isco lurks. Classic “he wasn’t to know he was offside” stuff. “Positive goalkeeping,” notes Glenn Hoddle on commentary. “Good start for him.”Not Karius, but a lovely bit of foreshadowing from the commentary team. “An omen for Liverpool: the five times they’ve won this tournament, the opponent has been wearing white.
He made a couple of smart saves and was playing pretty well until the first goal, but that’s a bit like saying there was several days’ pleasant sailing aboard the Titanic. His personal performance really cannot be massaged to anywhere better than ‘shit’. The first goal is a moment of extreme dopeyness, apparently unaware of the presence of one of Europe’s premier strikers right there three yards in front of him.
But by the time of the third goal, Liverpool are already starting to look beaten. Salah’s injury robbed them of not only a world-class player, but also stripped the bench of its one attacking option in Lallana. Liverpool look knackered by the 80-minute mark. Madrid have weathered the storm and a stretched Liverpool defence have been in last-ditch mode for a good few minutes by that point.
