Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler praised young defender Conor Bradley after Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Real Madrid at Anfield. The Reds secured the win with a second-half header from Alexis Mac Allister, marking their second consecutive win following a 2-0 triumph against Aston Villa.
Although Mac Allister grabbed the spotlight, Fowler highlighted Bradley as one of the team's standout performers. Bradley started at right-back in place of Jeremie Frimpong and was charged with marking Brazilian star Vinicius Jr throughout the match.
The 22-year-old Northern Irish defender rose to the challenge, effectively neutralizing Vinicius Jr and contributing significantly to Liverpool's clean sheet.
“Bradley stepped up with complete ease, silencing the former Ballon d'Or contender throughout the game and playing a huge role in his side's victory,” said Fowler.
According to Sofascore, these stats reflect Bradley’s outstanding defensive performance on the night.
