Spanish press LOVE Liverpool star who ‘ate’ up Real Madrid | OneFootball

Conor Bradley hailed

Marca wrote up a feature on Bradley after the game, hailing him as Real Madrid’s ‘kryptonite’. The right-back has now shone in back-to-back games against Los Blancos after his eye-catching display last season.

This, though, was a more well-rounded display. Bradley was brilliant at everything he tried, honestly, be it containing Vinicius Jr one-on-one or running the ball up the pitch and out of trouble.

Real Madrid just didn’t know what to do with him. Marca say he ‘ate’ Vinicius, describing the Brazilian as a ‘victim’ as Bradley won three tackles, eight duels and made seven recoveries.

It’s all especially notable given Bradley’s place in the lineup was assured by Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving for Real Madrid. The Scouser was heavily booed on his return as a second-half substitute - and rightly so - while his successor has hailed as possibly the best player on the pitch.

And so there’s a sense that Liverpool haven’t really lost out as things stand. They certainly miss a lot of what Alexander-Arnold did for the team, there’s no question there, but they’ve found qualities in Bradley that can lead to starring roles in massive games.
