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.

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.

Newcastle goalkeeper Loris Karius would not have filled many people with confidence with his warm-up display before the Carabao Cup final.The German,

On Karius’ performance, Magpies boss Eddie Howe said after the match: “Very pleased with Loris, he made a number of good saves. Now the rest is up to him to produce a good performance.” Meanwhile, former Newcastle player Lee Clark said: “He couldn’t do anything about the goals. He said: “We have tried to be very normal with Loris. We’ve done all our prep as if he’s our no.1. He doesn’t need too many words from me.

Manchester United beat Newcastle 2-0 in the 2023 Carabao Cup Final despite the heroics of Loris Karius in net.

Karius probably won't play again with Nick Pope and Martin Dúbravka resuming normal duties, but the 29-year-old will have plenty of options this summer when his contract expires. Playing his first competitive match in nearly two years and his first representing an English club since that infamous night in Kyiv, Karius could not prevent Newcastle's defeat in the EFL Cup final on Sunday as Manchester United scored two goals in a six-minute first-half span to claim the season's first major piece of silverware. "I have said everything about this," Karius said in the buildup to the match while fielding more questions about his Champions League final collapse.

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.

In the end, it wasn't meant to be. It's not easy as a goalkeeper to get straight into rhythm in a game like this, but I think I did quite well." 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. It's a cup final, it's Wembley — it doesn't really get better than this," he said. A tearful Karius apologised to fans after the match. 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. "I was watching the game," Karius explained. He had not played a senior match since a 1-1 Bundesliga draw between Union Berlin and Hoffenheim on February 28, 2021, nearly two years ago to the day. Then 24, the German gifted Real Madrid the lead in the Champions League final in Kyiv when his attempted throw-out was blocked into the net by Karim Benzema. Karius, signed as a third-choice squad option for the 2022/23 season, would be starting Newcastle's first final at Wembley Stadium for 24 years. "I didn't realise maybe in the first moment that he was cup-tied.

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.
