Liverpool picked up their first win against Real Madrid since 2009, with Conor Bradley the star of the show for the Reds.

The Northern Ireland international assisted Alexis Mac Allister for the opening goal with Bradley winning praise for a brilliant tackle on Kylian Mbappe in the first-half, with the Madrid superstar enduring a rough night at Anfield.

It wasn’t to be a perfect match for Bradley, though, as the 21-year-old defender was forced off late on in the second-half after picking up an injury, with Joe Gomez coming on with Trent Alexander-Arnold also back available for Liverpool.

And TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher spotted what actually happened to Bradley.

Bradley injured his hamstring during Liverpool win vs Real Madrid

Speaking on TNT Sports coverage of the game, the commentator noted that Bradley said he had injured his hamstring, with Fletcher saying: "It's his hamstring, he's just said that to Ibrahima Konate."

With Koante also picking up a knock against Madrid, Liverpool fans will be hopeful that they won’t be without two in-form defenders heading into Sunday’s massive Premier League tie against Manchester City.

Indeed, Bradley getting injured after the game of his career will come as a blow for the Northern Ireland youngster, who showed tonight for Liverpool that he could have a serious future if Alexnader-Arnold were to leave for Madrid next year.

Yet even after being forced off, Bradley will feel confident that his performance tonight will lead to more minutes under Arne Slot in upcoming games, with Liverpool’s fixture list only becoming more hectic with the festive period around the corner.

Bradley will feel he’s just played the best game of his life

With Liverpool fans in awe with Bradley after his performance tonight against Madrid, there’s a good reason for the defender to believe he’s just played the game of his life for the Reds.

The Anfield side came into this game knowing they had a real chance of beating Madrid, with Los Blancos missing Vinicius Junior and looking like a shadow of the side that won the Champions League last season.

And for Bradley, the stars aligned for the Northern Ireland international, who will be over the moon with how things went for him tonight on Merseyside for Liverpool.
