Football and life always offer second chances, and Loris Karius can now say he is living proof of that saying.
After that ill-fated UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool, the goalkeeper played just 7 matches in 5 years until Schalke 04 took him in while they were in the second division.
Thanks to a string of great performances, Karius made the goal his own and became one of the key reasons why the Royal Blues returned to the top flight. In their return, Schalke were thrashed, and today they were back at the Veltins-Arena for a Bundesliga match against none other than Bayern Munich.
But Karius delivered again. Schalke ended a 9-year curse without taking a point off the Bavarians, and the German became man of the match with huge saves, including one against Harry Kane in the final minutes. Without a doubt, an unmatched redemption story.
