Exactly. I read that he suffered a concussion during that final (an elbow in the face from the pig Ramos) but continued to play, subsequently making a number of errors. It could sound like spin in order to deflect blame on him, but the doctor that handled him post-match said that he was most certainly affected by this concussion (as one would be).

Just to provide a fair bit of context to the poor lad. Hopefully he's past it now - I see he was a backup keeper at Union Berlin last season, so probably not the biggest talent anymore at 29, but with PL experience etc. he would be a good second choice to Pope.
