Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius reacts after conceding a third in the UEFA Champions League final
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson refused to blame Loris Karius after his two errors gifted Real Madrid a 13th European Cup.
Karius saw a clearance blocked by Karim Benzema with the ball rolling into the net for the opener before he spilled Gareth Bale’s speculative long-range effort off the line to make it 3-1.
Bale had already beaten Karius with a stunning overhead kick to put Real back ahead after Sadio Mane had canceled out Benzema’s opener.
But Reds skipper Henderson insisted the club would rise and fall as one.
“It’s not about him and mistakes he might have made,” Henderson told BT Sport.
“It’s about us as a team, we got here together as a team and we lose as a team.
“We’re all together, it’s not just about one person. We were just not good enough to get over the line.”
The England midfielder also promised to bounce back as quickly as possible for club and country.
“It’s going to hurt for a while but football moves forward, we’ve got the World Cup coming and we’ve got to quickly move on because the season starts quickly after that,” he added.
“We’re proud to get here and we got beaten by a fantastic team. We’ve got a fantastic squad and a fantastic manager and we’ve got to use that to keep going forward.”
