Liverpool rising star Conor Bradley has taken to social media to share an image of himself tackling Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe.

The 21-year-old was magnificent for Arne Slot’s side as they comfortably beat the European champions 2-0 on Wednesday to extend their 100 per cent continental record.

Mbappe, 25, couldn’t get around the Northern Ireland international, with the right-back making a tackle just after the half-hour mark that his predecessors from the 90s would have been proud of.

Bradley later managed to bag the assist for Alexis Mac Allister’s opener, laying the World Cup winner off before he expertly guided it past Thibaut Courtois.

Both Mbappe and Mohamed Salah went on to miss spot-kicks before substitute Cody Gakpo doubled Liverpool’s lead and secured the victory.

Liverpool wonderkid Conor Bradley full of confidence

Bradley has proven to be a capable understudy while Trent Alexander-Arnold has been on the sidelines, starting four of Liverpool’s last five games across all competitions.

Some fans have even gone as far as to suggest Bradley could take over from Alexander-Arnold with the England international’s contract due to expire at the end of the season.

Clearly brimming with confidence, Bradley took to Instagram to share images from the game against Real Madrid, including the one of him and Mbappe.

Things are going about as well as they possibly could for Liverpool at the moment, sitting at the top if both the Premier League table and the new Champions League group phase.

Attention will return to the Premier League on Sunday (December 1) as Arne Slot’s side aim to go 12 points clear with a win over Man City.
