#2 Loris Karius: Liverpool 1-3 Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final 2018
The latest addition to this list of game-changing howlers is Liverpool keeper, Loris Karius. He has a dubious distinction of goofing up twice in the same match. Karius made two horrendous mistakes in the second half that changed the course of the match and against a formidable side like Real Madrid, one such mistake can change the entire landscape.
Five minutes into the second half, Karius was looking to casually roll the ball to one of his teammates, but his action was rightly anticipated by Benzema who stuck out a boot and managed to get a decent touch to steer it inside the left post. Five minutes later, Karius heaved a huge sigh of relief as Sadio Mane's tap-in levelled the proceedings for the Reds.
Gareth Bale, who was brought in for Isco at the hour mark, directed the ball into the back of the Liverpool net with an acrobatic bicycle-kick, leaving Karius with no chance. Liverpool was desperately looking for a second goal, but Karius sealed the fate of the Reds as he failed to keep out Bale's thunderous shot from distance that he really should have at least punched clear.
The young German keeper was in tears after the full-time whistle, and these two mistakes could very well define his entire future.
