Ian Wright and Roy Keane Disagree on Conor Bradley’s Performance Against Real Madrid
Conor Bradley enjoyed an impressive night on Tuesday as Liverpool defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League. The young defender successfully contained Vinicius Jr, playing a crucial role in Arne Slot’s team securing a narrow but vital win. Alexis Mac Allister scored the only goal, helping Liverpool earn three essential points as Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to the squad.
Roy Keane’s Criticism
Despite Bradley’s standout defensive display, Roy Keane questioned a specific part of his game. The former midfielder emphasized that Bradley offered little offensive threat, suggesting his forward contributions need development.
Ian Wright’s Defense
In contrast, Ian Wright praised Bradley’s effort, highlighting how well he handled the challenge against one of Europe’s best wingers.
“That’s why you want to see him up against a winger like that because that then takes him to another place, he did everything last night. He was fantastic to watch.”
Recognition from Fellow Players
Jeremie Frimpong also commended Bradley for effectively neutralizing Vinicius throughout the match, noting the defender’s composure under pressure.
