Sky News reports that the Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has received abuse and death threats on social media after his nightmare performance in the Champions League final.

“It’s very hard right now but that’s the life of a goalkeeper. These goals cost us the title basically.”

Some fans were furious that the horrific messages had been posted.

One wrote: “The people who are tweeting Loris Karius saying they hope he dies are not Liverpool fans; they’re disgusting human beings.”
