• They were left heartbroken after two goalkeeping blunders cost them the Champions League final
• At Kiev's Boryspil International Airport dejected Liverpool fans were seen sleeping on floors and benches
• Direct flights from Kiev to Liverpool were fully booked up until late next week as fans scrabbled to return 
• Liverpool fans were slammed for directing a torrent of abuse including death threats at their goalkeeper

Liverpool's Mo Salah was substituted after 30 minutes following a strong challenge by Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos

Liverpool's Loris Karius gifted Real Madrid two goals in the Champions League final in Kiev which finished 3-1

'I tried to catch it, maybe I should have done it safer and just put it out of play instead of trying to catch it.

'I judged it wrong and it went in.'

While acknowledging the mistakes, Klopp said he had great sympathy for the keeper he signed from his former club Mainz.

'What can I say? Loris knows it, everybody knows it. It's a shame in a game like this and after a season like this. I really feel for him; he's a fantastic boy,' Klopp said.  

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, a Champions League winner with the club in 2005, told BT Sport that Karius had lost his cool for the first goal.

'We spoke about experience before the game, know-how on the big stage and the Madrid players being more switched on. The first goal is a keeper in a rush,' he said.

Karius had to be consoled by Liverpool's goalkeeping coach John Achterberg and Madrid's Gareth Bale after the final whistle

Karius did eventually make his way over to the stands where he apologised to fans who had made the 1,500-mile journey to Kiev. At last Jurgen Klopp put his arm around the keeper who then disappeared into the tunnel.

Mourinho mahu ikut jejak Wenger

PENGURUS Manchester United, Jose Mourinho percaya beliau mampu menyamai rekod pengurus Arsenal, Arsene Wenger yang membimbing pasukan sehingga lewat usia 60-an.

Mourinho akan bertemu seteru utamanya itu untuk kali terakhir apabila Gunners mengunjungi Old Trafford, hari ini.

Rekod paling lama Mourinho sebagai pengurus adalah ketika membimbing Chelsea, iaitu selama tiga tahun tiga bulan dengan selebihnya tiga tahun di Real Madrid, dua tahun masing-masing di Porto dan Inter Milan dan kali kedua di Stamford Bridge.

Wenger pula pada usia 68 tahun akan mengundur diri hujung musim ini selepas hampir 22 tahun membimbing Gunners.

Ditanya adakah beliau mampu menandingi rekod pengendali dari Perancis itu, Mourinho berkata: “Sudah tentu. Saya terpaksa menukar kelab kerana anda (media) tidak membenarkan saya terlalu lama di sini.

“Saya berasakan mampu melakukannya tetapi berdepan konsep baru media, sosial media, pengkritik serta cara orang ramai meluahkan perasaan mereka, agak memberi tekanan bukan saja kepada pengurus, malah untuk kelab juga.

“Adalah agak sukar untuk seseorang itu bertahan lama terutama sekiranya jika tiada kejayaan.”

Bagaimanapun pengendali dari Portugal itu berasakan beliau mampu kekal lebih lama di United berbanding kelab-kelab yang pernah dibimbingnya sebelum ini.

“Di kelab lain, saya sudah memikirkan mengenai apa pula seterusnya?

“Untuk ketika ini, saya tidak mahu melakukan perkara lain selain membimbing United,” katanya.

• At the bottom of the #PL table, things are starting to get a bit squeezed...

Speaking to BT Sport, Arsene Wenger said: "Looking at the performance and the way the game went, it was the worst possible result for us, but we have to go there in a positive mood and qualify.

"Unfortunately we gave a goal away from nowhere but now we need to recover from the disappointment and prepare for the next game.

"Of course it feels like an opportunity missed. We could have qualified tonight but it didn't happen. Their keeper made a lot of saves and they showed their quality by scoring with one chance. But they couldn't score with a combination, they could only do it with a long ball, so we have to look at ourselves."

Asked about Atletico's impressive home record, Wenger said: "You don't look at the statistics, you can only look at your own performance and we know we can score from anywhere. What matters is that we go there with the belief to do it.
