The message Loris Karius sent Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool reached Champions League final

Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg has revealed the kind message Loris Karius sent to Jurgen Klopp after his side's sensational comeback against Barcelona.

The German shot-stopper was the Reds' No. 1 as they advanced into last season's Champions League final.

Karius had a night to forget in Kiev as the 25-year-old made two colossal mistakes which saw Real Madrid run out 3-1 winners and retain a fourth title in five years.

But the Besiktas loanee showed his class as he sent congratulatory messages to the Liverpool coaching staff following the Reds'

Achterberg told The Times : "Loris texted Jurgen and myself when we reached the final.

"He said he was happy for us and hopes we now win. I think that says a lot about him."

Karius, who arrived from Mainz 05 in 2016, was loaned to the Turkish Super Lig side on a two-year deal following the Kiev final.

The goalkeeping coach added: "He is a good guy. He is not a bad goalkeeper, but the situation was not easy for him.

"It was the best solution for him to go and play, rebuild his confidence, and then enjoy his football again."
