Arne Slot has revealed the advice he gave his players to deal with Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe, after Conor Bradley excelled in Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Real Madrid. Bradley was arguably the pick of the bunch, though, comprehensively getting the better of a world-class winger in Vinicius. • READ: “Superb” Conor Bradley stars for Liverpool along with new “Mr Marvel” Speaking to Amazon Prime after the game, Slot outlined the tactics he wanted from his team, in order to deal with the Brazilian and Mbappe.

“Conor was outstanding,” he added. Last season he was outstanding against Real Madrid but he had to go off after 80 minutes because of an injury.

“Now, three days after he played 90 minutes against Villa, he again played 90 minutes with incredible intensity against Vinicius.” It is easy to forget that Bradley is still only 22, so expecting him to be consistently excellent at this point in his career is asking a lot. Another big test awaits for Bradley away to Man City on Sunday, with Jeremy Doku a tricky customer, but the manner in which he handled Vinicius should give him plenty of belief.
