Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler expressed high admiration for young defender Conor Bradley following Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday night.
The Reds secured a hard-fought win thanks to Alexis Mac Allister's second-half header, marking consecutive wins after their recent 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.

"The 22-year-old successfully completed 100% of his tackles on the night (3/3), made one interception, won seven ground duels, made seven recoveries, and made two clearances."
Bradley's poised and effective performance played a crucial role in Liverpool's victory.
