“He has done really well”: Former Real Madrid ace hails one Liverpool player who really stood out | OneFootball

Liverpool picked up a 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League tonight, and Conor Bradley produced a strong defensive performance. 

The talented Liverpool defender was up against Vinicius Junior, and he did not put a foot wrong throughout the game. Bradley managed to nullify the threat from the Brazilian attacker, and former Real Madrid defender Jonathan Woodgate has now heaped praise on him.

Conor Bradley nullified Vinicius’ threat

The Brazilian has caused all sorts of problems for Liverpool in the past, but he was completely marked out of the game by the Liverpool full-back. On a night when Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed off by the Liverpool faithful, Bradley’s outstanding display in front of the former Liverpool right back was even more special.

The young defender will be delighted with his performance against Real Madrid, and it will be interesting to see if he can use it as a springboard for the remainder of the season. Liverpool have signed Jeremie Frimpong in the summer, and Bradley will have to continue performing at a high level if he wants to start for Liverpool regularly.

He has previously excelled against Mbappé, and he has clearly shown that he has what it takes to match up to elite players. Bradley is still quite young, and he has plenty of time to improve further. He will look to establish himself as the first choice right back at the club now.
