"I have no words to describe it," Kahn told German television.ZDF"I don't remember ever seeing a worse goalkeeper performance than in this final. A night like this can ruin a career."
Kahn won the Champions League with Bayern Munich in 2001. He was considered the world's top goalkeeper of his generation, not only for his skills but also for his steely spirit.
However, the famous coolness of German goalkeepers was not brought to the Champions League final by Karius, who made a mistake when he put the ball into Karim Benzema's feet and seemed to be haunted by it, making another silly mistake late in the match, allowing Gareth Bale to seal a 3-1 win for Real.
