Man Utd Legend Compares Conor Bradley to Steven Gerrard After Real Madrid Win
Conor Bradley received widespread praise for his exceptional performance in Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Real Madrid. The young Northern Ireland international impressed many, including Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham, who offered high praise following the match at Anfield.
Bradley effectively contained Real’s star Vinicius Jr, showcasing the same composure he displayed a year earlier when facing Kylian Mbappe. His solid defensive showing and attacking energy reinforced his growing reputation as Liverpool’s next first-choice right-back.
“Conor Bradley definitely stepped up to the plate last night against Vinicius,” said Teddy Sheringham to 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 resurgence comes at an ideal moment, especially with Trent Alexander-Arnold having recently returned to Anfield for the first time since his departure. Liverpool manager Arne Slot will be pleased to see the 22-year-old regaining form after a challenging start to the season.
