Man Utd Legend Praises Conor Bradley After Real Madrid Match
Conor Bradley received high praise for his exceptional performance in Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Real Madrid, with Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham delivering the highest compliment.
Comparison to Steven Gerrard
Sheringham compared Bradley to Steven Gerrard, highlighting the Northern Ireland international’s heroic display against the 15-time European champions. Bradley notably kept Vinicius Jr quiet throughout the game at Anfield, replicating his success from a year earlier against Kylian Mbappe.
Bradley's Rising Potential
His impressive outing reinforced his status as Liverpool’s emerging first-choice right-back. The timing was crucial, especially with Trent Alexander-Arnold recently returning to the club after his summer exit.
Challenges and Recent Form
Bradley faced a challenging start to the season but has regained form in recent matches, which must be a relief for manager Arne Slot.
“Conor Bradley definitely stepped up to the plate last night against Vinicius,” Sheringham told Oddspedia. “Bradley has probably not found that level of consistency yet, but parts of his game make me go, ‘wow’. I look at him like a young Steven Gerrard coming onto the scene – he’s got that tenacity and drive about him and has a huge amount of quality.”
Bradley's blend of determination and skill signals a promising future in Liverpool’s squad.
