Ex-Liverpool star released by Jurgen Klopp told he's 'world class again' in major U-turn

Karius, 33, has rebuilt his career after Liverpool release and earned Man of the Match in Schalke's Bundesliga return despite a 1-0 defeat to Mainz.

Loris Karius is thriving in his comeback after being released by Liverpool in 2022. The German goalkeeper, who infamously made errors in the 2018 Champions League final, spent time at Newcastle before dropping to Bundesliga 2 with Schalke last season, helping them win promotion. Now 33, he's earning praise in the top flight: German outlet BILD dubbed him 'world-class again' after he was named Man of the Match in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Mainz, making crucial saves despite Schalke's loss.
