Loris Karius is the ghost at the feast.
The beleaguered goalkeeper only needed to return to public consciousness for a couple of days for two of the world's best goalkeepers to make horrendous errors. Ironically enough, in the very same fixture in which Karius' career was so brutally changed forever.
Thibaut Courtois and Alisson Becker both made horrific mistakes as Liverpool and Real Madrid played out a reet humdinger in the Champions League last 16 tie on Tuesday. As if the very prospect of Karius readying to start his first match in two years has shaken the core of goalkeepers everywhere. Perhaps it's an omen for what is to come later this week.
