Liverpool reached the Champions League finals for the second time in a row after having lost 3-1 to Real Madrid last season. This season, the Reds will be facing Tottenham on June 1st at Wanda Metropolitano.
Ahead of this year's final, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has revealed he was "sad" after seeing Loris Karius' nightmare performance in the Champions League final last year.
"I was in the national team, in preparation for the World Cup, and I didn’t watch the game," Alisson told Brazilian outlet
Globo Esporte via SportWitness .
"When we get so close, with a lot of will, and have a frustration like that, as it was in my case… I ended up not watching the game, I only saw the goals afterwards."
"We get sad when a colleague has a moment like this, especially in the Champions League final," continued Alisson speaking about Karius' mistake.
"It’s something that marks the player’s career, but we have to go around it, know how to deal with the mistake no matter when it happens.
"It’s inherent in the profession. The goalkeepers are more marked because, when an error occurs, 99% of the time ends in a goal and can decide a match, a championship. It sure gives a feeling of sadness, because we know how much we work and dedicate to make things happen in the best way."
