Karius was also blamed for his role in Manchester United's second goal in the Carabao Cup final. They were already trailing 1-0 when Karius entered the game, and they could not find a way back into the match. Fans were worried about his performance before the game, and the mocking of his gloves on social media did not help matters.

CRAIG HOPE AT WEMBLEY: Loris Karius is unlikely to play ever again as a Newcastle United goalkeeper. But at least this time - in reverting to the shadows ...

The fairytale of redemption was not forthcoming - victory was needed for that - but nor was it a horror show. But in committing his weight to block a low effort, the keeper was handicapped by gravity as a deflection off defender Sven Botman took the ball high. It was no bestseller, but Karius did not want to make headlines. It was both consolation for the team’s loss but also thanks for a performance that many thought beyond him. It felt like the whole world was waiting for Karius to drop the ball, quite literally. This had the potential to be scarring, too.

In the Carabao Cup final between Manchester United and Newcastle, Loris Karius will make his first appearance in English football in almost five years.

The German looked destined for the top when, aged 23, he signed for Liverpool in the summer of 2016. He returned to Liverpool for the following season but didn't make a single appearance before leaving on a free transfer in the summer of 2022, joining Newcastle. Despite that, his side made it through to the final, but his performance that night would prove to be a sign of things to come. His manager stated that he was young and would take over from Mignolet eventually though, and stuck to his word when he brought his compatriot back into the starting XI at the start of 2018, halfway through Karius' second season at the club. He was brought in to be Jurgen Klopp's first-choice goalkeeper but ended up playing second fiddle to Simon Mignolet after struggling in the first half of the 2016/17 campaign. It was hoped that he'd be their first-choice goalkeeper for the foreseeable future.

It was a difficult moment for him after his excruciating mistakes five years ago, though he did make a superb save in the dying minutes to deny Bruno Fernandes making it 3-0 to at least save some face. Marcus Rashford tried cutting the ball across goal, only for Sven Botman to charge him down in an attempt to block his cross. Settling himself back in his goal, Karius then got down to stop another shot, only for it to squirm past him into the corner of the net.

In January, Karius extended his contract at St James' Park until the end of the season and his focus is solely on helping Eddie Howe's side finish a promising campaign as best they can. He made a flying save to his right to tip over a shot from Wout Weghorst that would have made it 3-0 before the break.

By the time he took up his position between the posts in front of the masses of black and white flags at Wembley, most English football fans hadn't seen him play for five years.

He was [greeted with a standing ovation](https://talksport.com/football/408672/liverpool-fans-loris-karius-pre-season-torino/) in an almost unprecedented show of support. Precious few other fanbases would have responded to Karius the way the Liverpool fans did at Anfield way back in 2018. Alisson has been the bedrock of future successes, but his predecessor was never thrown under the bus. This season of underperformance has seen legitimate criticism stray into unpleasant territory on more than one occasion, if only from a minority. Among them was an incredibly smart stop to deny Wout Weghorst at the end of the first half, and a tricky one-versus-one against Bruno Fernandes, both of which kept Newcastle in with a sniff. Few would have been so eager to see him succeed in a final for a different team, some five years down the road. Social media was quick to jump on Karius after a wicked deflection left him helpless for Manchester United’s second goal, with all of the usual suspects positively foaming at the mouth for an error to seize upon for the sake of engagement. But the truth could hardly be more different. On the other hand was Newcastle United, newly taken-over by Saudi Arabia in what must be the least heartwarming ‘fairytale’ of all time.
