Champions League battle for the gods! 22-year-old youngster locks down Real Madrid superstar: 60,000 people applaud Official MVP

In the fourth round of the Champions League stage, Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home. McAllister scored the only goal and won the official MVP award of the Champions League. However, Liverpool's official best player was not Micah, but Bradley. The 22-year-old Liverpool full-back completely blocked Vinicius in this game and made his famous performance.

It is not easy for Bradley to be the main force. With Alexander-Arnold leaving the team and Frimpong injured, Liverpool coach Slott once asked Szoboszlai to play as a right back. It was not until the past month and a half that Bradley became the main player.

In the battle with Real Madrid, Bradley's opposite winger was Vinicius - worth 150 million euros, second in the 2024 Ballon d'Or and winner of the World Footballer. He is fast, skilled and world-class in attack ability. As a center, Mbappe also likes to cut in from the left. One can imagine the defensive pressure on Bradley.

However, the 22-year-old Bradley delivered a perfect answer.

In the entire game, Bradley made 3 successful dribbles out of 4 times, recovered the ball 7 times, succeeded in 7 ground confrontations, made 3 steals, and made 2 clearances. Under Bradley's defense, Vinicius lost his luster, losing the ball 19 times, taking 0 shots, and only successfully passing through once.

Data does not lie, nor do exciting scenes. Let's take a look at Bradley's performance in this Champions League battle. It was a textbook offensive and defensive performance:

Facing Vinicius' left and right swerve, Bradley kept his center of gravity stable, seized the opportunity to get stuck, and successfully intercepted the ball;

Vinicius burst from the left, Bradley defended hard, and the Real Madrid superstar dribbled the ball out of bounds;

Vinicius made a sudden change of direction and entered the penalty area, but was blocked by Bradley, perfect defense;

During Liverpool's counterattack, Bradley ran with the ball, causing Vinicius to foul;

In the Liverpool penalty area, Vinicius changed direction 90 degrees, and Bradley also quickly turned to defend. Vinicius dived to deceive the point, but failed to deceive the referee;

Bradley's defense was even more encouraging this time. Vinicius wanted to cut inside, but Bradley quickly got down to the ground and put down the tackle firmly and accurately, winning the applause of 60,000 fans again.

It is not easy to defend Vinicius. In the past 5 games against Liverpool, Real Madrid has never lost when Vinicius played, and the Brazilian superstar scored 5 goals. However, in this Champions League battle, Bradley completely locked down Vinicius, proving his value and ability - Liverpool has such a young and excellent right back, who will miss Arnold?
