Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has been likened to Liverpool stopper Loris Karius for the way he cost his team a goal in the Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.
Manager Thomas Tuchel was left cursing a "bad mistake" early in the second half as Mendy's short pass left Antonio Rudiger in trouble and Karim Benzema stole in to put the Spanish side 3-1 ahead at Stamford Bridge. The goal completed a hat-trick for Benzema, and saw him set a record for a French player in the Champions League.
It is far from the first time the striker has taken advantage of a goalkeeping misstep, though. Karius' error in the 2018 final might have been the most high-profile, and comparisons in the continental media are testament to this, but Benzema has a knack for taking advantage when the stakes are high.
