Man Utd Legend Pays Conor Bradley Ultimate Compliment After Real Madrid Heroics
Conor Bradley earned widespread praise for his impressive performance in Liverpool’s victory over Real Madrid, with a Manchester United legend offering him the highest compliment possible. Teddy Sheringham compared Bradley to Steven Gerrard following his outstanding display at Anfield.
The Northern Ireland international excelled against the 15-time European champions, keeping Vinicius Jr quiet during Liverpool’s 1-0 win. It was a repeat of his defensive success against Kylian Mbappe in the previous season. His display highlighted his growing status as Liverpool’s first-choice right-back.
Bradley’s return to form comes at a key moment, especially with Trent Alexander-Arnold recently returning to the city after leaving the club in the summer. Coach Arne Slot will be encouraged by Bradley’s recent performances after a challenging start to the season.
“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.”
Summary
Sheringham’s praise shows how Bradley’s maturity and drive are elevating him into Liverpool’s core lineup, marking him as one of the most promising young defenders in English football.
