What happened to Loris Karius, the protagonist of the last Real Madrid vs. Liverpool final?

A few days before the final of the Champions League 2022 between Real Madrid vs. Liverpool, the name of Loris Karius emerges, who was an unfortunate protagonist in the last European definition between both teams in the 2017-2018 season.

The German goalkeeper made two errors that cost the 'Reds' the title on that fateful night in Kiev, where they lost 3-1. His first mistake occurred when he tried to make a quick play and was blocked by Karim Benzema on the edge of the box, and his second mistake was when the ball slipped out of his hands after a long-range shot by Gareth Bale.

Since that day, Loris Karius has not stood under the Liverpool goalposts again. Weeks after that final, Anfield closed the signing of Alisson Becker and loaned the German to Besiktas in Turkey for two seasons. However, after the first year, the contract was canceled and Karius returned to England.

Later he was loaned to Union Berlin in his country, but he spent more time on the bench than on the field. After his return to Liverpool, he continued to be overlooked. His contract ends in June of this year, and 'The Guardian' reported that the board has already notified him that he is not part of the plans. Therefore, he will have to look for a new destination.

WHEN DO REAL MADRID VS. LIVERPOOL PLAY?

The match between both teams is scheduled to be played on Saturday, May 28, starting at 14:00 (local time), at Stade de France in Paris.
