Until, that is, within the space of five meetings of Liverpool and Real, there were two comparable errors. It was the sort of aberration that felt bordered on the unique. In 2018, Karius rolled the ball on to Karim Benzema’s leg and thus into his own net. Maybe Liverpool against Real Madrid does strange things to goalkeepers, even the very finest.
They may be a largely distinguished bunch, but it is a band none would want to be a member of. But, as the German prepares for his first cup final since the 2018 Champions League, two who have been named the best goalkeeper in the world have joined him.
It may be of scant consolation to him not after the best part of five years, not when his career is defined by it.
