Liverpool enjoyed a second win in a row, with Conor Bradley instrumental in the 1-0 win over Real Madrid, while Trent Alexander-Arnold will want to forget his first game back at AnfieldLiverpool have continued their return to form with a 1-0 win over Champions League opponents Real Madrid - and some fans in the Liverpool Echo comments section are full of praise for the instrumental role that young Reds right-back Conor Bradley played in keeping Real's fearsome forwards quiet.Coming from a convincing 2-0 win against Aston Villa at the weekend, Liverpool were out to prove that they had shaken off the malaise that has hung over the early part of the season. But it was the right-backs who became the focus of the night, with Conor Bradley putting in a vital shift to prevent Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior from combining to deadly effect, as they often have in the Spanish league.Trent Alexander-Arnold was the target of boos during the warm-up drills, and again when he was introduced with a mere nine minutes to go.



He has made a limited impact at Real Madrid since signing for them in the summer, with the Spanish club parting with £10million to ensure he was in position in time for the FIFA Club World Cup.Some fans were full of praise for the young man who's stepped into Alexander-Arnold's boots.
