Has there ever been a worse demonstration of goalkeeping in professional football without a goal being conceded? If Loris Karius had the luck of this dude, he would’ve kept a clean sheet in the Champions League final. First things first: what the hell is the keeper thinking with regards to the initial flight of the corner? Where is he going? Why is he spinning in a circle and then running out of bounds?
And then why’s he just standing there? And then where is he going? Why doesn’t he get back on his line? How doesn’t he just grab that ball that’s played right at him? Why’s he then trying to cut that guy in half with his feet while lying prone on the ground?
In the end, it doesn’t matter. What an inadvertent block by the ATTACKER on the goal line with his anus. But you can’t fault the player — he went down after a clash of heads with a defender, and the referee could’ve whistled the play dead right there.
What a wild ride.
