Conor Bradley once again stepped up to the plate against Real Madrid, silencing Vinicius Jr as Liverpool claimed a three points in the Champions League.‘Can we play you every week?’ goes the famous song. Liverpool fans may not sing the tune but the words are fitting when it comes to Bradley’s games against Madrid.The young right-back has played Los Blancos twice and come out as the arguable player of the match on both occasions, quietening Kylian Mbappe last year and now Vinicius Jr.Whereas Bradley may have been criticised as being immature in his conceding of fouls earlier this campaign, Tuesday’s performance was one of a seasoned professional who knew how to deal with one of the world’s best wingers.Supporters didn’t take long to praise Bradley for a classy display in the Champions League, noting also how he is beginning to walk in the shoes of his predecessor at right-back. Vinicius is always diving and feigning injury. Bradley has done well. Very early on Vinicius dived when Bradley got in too tight and after that he's realised he has to defend smarter (he's had a lot of yellows this season but couldn't afford an early yellow vs Madrid) https://t.co/YIRSFkIe1b— Red (@TaintlessRed) November 4, 2025“What a performance by Bradley! Surely symbolic in terms of changing of guards for the position is now complete!”– kazza in the This is Anfield commentsConor Bradley doing everything he can to make sure Liverpool fans don't miss Trent Alexander Arnold against Real Madrid— Epl freak (@the_epl_freak) November 4, 2025This Conor Bradley is another gem of a player that goes under the radar without being talked about alot. His really dealing with Vinicius on that right wing. Massive performance from him? https://t.co/Erwy1TvXBP— Busy Jude (@BusyJude) November 4, 2025Hardly cutting analysis but Conor Bradley has been incredible so far. Not given Vini a sniff and his line-breaking passes to Ekitike been brilliant. Tbh I'm slightly "jury's out" on how good he actually is but this is the level. His best game since, er, Real Madrid last year— Lewis Steele (@LewisSteele_) November 4, 2025“We need this tempo for City away because Real Madrid couldn’t handle it. Bradley, OMG what a RB he’s turning out to be. With Frimpong and Ramsey there is competition there now.”– Antony Lewis on Facebook“The formation was spot on. The players responded with style and energy and Bradley was magnificent. If only he could keep that form.”– Edward Woods on FacebookConor Bradley up against Real Madrid might be the best right back in the world.— Laurie (@LFCLaurie) November 4, 2025“Bradley is gonna have a sore jaw after smiling so much for having Vini in his pocket all game.”– Sean Jones on FacebookConor Bradley has been world class tonight, he always shows up to the games that mean the most— Emily Younger (@emilyyoungerx) November 4, 2025Brilliant delivery, Conor Bradley has given the performance of a life time here, I've no idea why he hates Madrid so much but if we could get every player he goes up against to look like Mbappe or Vini we will be sorted— stephen hilton (@stephenhilton94) November 4, 2025“Bradley was a beast, defo our best player.”– MA in the This is Anfield commentsBradley’s transition to first-choice right-back hasn’t gone as smoothly as hoped following Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s summer exit, but a run of games is now helping him find form.Consistency is the next step for Bradley and he will be needed again at Man City on Sunday, due to Jeremie Frimpong‘s continued injury absence.
