Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler expressed admiration for young defender Conor Bradley following the team’s 1-0 win over Real Madrid at Anfield. The tight match was decided by Alexis Mac Allister’s decisive header in the second half, which also gave the Reds back-to-back victories after defeating Aston Villa 2-0 earlier that week.
“Bradley was outstanding. He handled everything thrown at him against one of the best wingers in the world,” said Fowler after the match.
Fowler’s praise came despite Mac Allister stealing much of the spotlight for scoring the winning goal. The former striker emphasized how important Bradley had been on the right flank, stepping in for injured summer signing Jeremie Frimpong and facing off against Brazilian star Vinicius Jr.
The 22-year-old Northern Irish defender showed exceptional composure and defensive awareness, neutralizing Madrid’s main attacking threat. His individual stats reflected his dominance and precision in every duel.
Bradley’s mature and composed performance played a crucial part in securing Liverpool’s clean sheet and victory against the 15-time European champions.
Robbie Fowler praised Conor Bradley for a composed, fearless display against Real Madrid, calling him a standout performer in Liverpool’s hard-fought 1-0 win at Anfield.
