Fans on social media have lauded Bradley’s display, praising him for his “sensational” performance and for shutting down Kylian Mbappe, who is considered one of the best players in the world.

Bradley’s tackle on Mbappe shortly after the half-hour mark was particularly impressive, and fans praised him for his bravery and defensive skills. The 21-year-old’s all-around performance included two shots, four tackles, and one key pass, and he maintained a pass accuracy of 84% and won eight duels.

Fans were also impressed by Bradley’s overall composure and smart decision-making on the field. One fan noted that Bradley “really came out and shut everyone who doubted him” after a lackluster performance against Southampton earlier in the season.

The article also mentions Liverpool’s head coach Arne Slot, who praised his team’s win, calling it a “special” and “meaningful” victory. The victory was Liverpool’s first over Real Madrid since 2009 and puts them at the top of the Champions League table with a 100% record.
