Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has backed Karius to bounce back from his Champions League nightmare.
"If he wants to talk then of course I will be there," said the Belgian, who was on the bench for the game in Kiev. "Every goalkeeper can relate to him.
"I've been in this situation before myself and those kind of things you deal with yourself.
"The only thing I told him is that there is a reason we got to this final, and why we played in this final, so think about that.
"But of course it is very difficult to say anything to him and to let him grasp it.
