Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler praised young defender Conor Bradley for his stellar display in the Reds’ 1-0 victory over Real Madrid at Anfield.
The match took place on Tuesday night, where Liverpool secured their second consecutive win following a 2-0 success against Aston Villa. Alexis Mac Allister scored the only goal of the game with a precise header in the second half.
Although Mac Allister took the headlines, Fowler singled out Bradley for his exceptional defensive performance, calling attention to his composure and maturity under pressure.
"Bradley was handed the starting role at right-back in the absence of summer signing Jeremie Frimpong and faced Brazil star Vinicius Jr. in a personal duel throughout the game."
The Northern Irish full-back effectively contained Vinicius Jr., limiting his influence and contributing significantly to Liverpool’s defensive resilience.
Bradley’s confident showing reaffirmed his growing reputation as one of Liverpool’s most promising young defenders.
Fowler’s admiration highlighted Bradley’s maturity and defensive excellence, proving the young full-back could rise to the challenge against elite opposition.
