LONDON: Police are investigating after Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius was subjected to death threats and vile abuse on social media after his costly mistakes condemned his side to a painful Champions League final defeat against Real Madrid. Karius was responsible for two of Real's goals in their 3-1 victory over Liverpool in Kiev on Saturday. Karius had apologised after the match for his mistakes, but that didn't stop furious Liverpool fans from making sick threats to the keeper and his family. "The force takes social media posts of this nature extremely seriously and any offences identified will be investigated," she said. "Merseyside Police would like to remind social media users than any offences including malicious communications and threatening behaviour will be investigated."
