The Conor Bradley who crunched Kylian Mbappe at Anfield on Wednesday night is the same Conor Bradley Jim Magilton saw when the Liverpool starlet was just 10 years of age. The 21-year-old from Castlederg was the toast of Merseyside half an hour into Liverpool’s Champions League showdown with Real Madrid when he homed in on Mbappe like an exocet missile.

Liverpool's victory over Real Madrid was ignited by a thumping, memorable challenge on Kylian Mbappe from their young right-back

Per FotMob, the 21-year-old won more duels than any other player (eight), coming away with the ball in seven of his 11 ground duels and his only aerial duel. Bradley also made the most recoveries (nine), which includes his challenge to deny Mbappe on the counter, while he was successful with two of his four attempted tackles.
