Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Loris Karius, made two critical mistakes during the Champions League final, which contributed to Real Madrid’s 3-1 win on May 26. While it probably doesn’t make Liverpool fans (or Karius, for that matter) feel any better, tests this week revealed that Karius suffered a concussion before the goals were scored. The concussion likely occurred during a collision with Madrid’s Sergio Ramos in the 48th minute. Karius then made another error toward the end of the game, allowing a very soft goal on a long-range shot from Gareth Bale. Karius’ concussion highlights the difficulty associated with diagnosing and treating these complicated and often devastating injuries.
