"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 once considered the world's top goalkeeper of his generation, not only for his skills but also for his steely spirit.
However, the German goalkeeper's famous coolness was not carried over 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 another silly situation late in the match, allowing Gareth Bale to seal a 3-1 victory for Real.
