Liverpool's night was all but perfect against Real Madrid on Wednesday night except for a major blow to Conor Bradley.
The Northern Irishman delivered a stunning performance, keeping Kylian Mbappe in his pocket for most of the night.
Bradley also provided the crucial assist for Alexis Mac Allister's opener and was a lively threat going forward.

Once and for all, proving he can be an astute back-up solution in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
However, right towards the end of the game, he went down with what seemed like a hamstring issue and Liverpool were forced to take him off the pitch.
Joe Gomez came in to replace Bradley.
Arne Slot issues Conor Bradley update
Alexander-Arnold was fit enough to be on the bench in this game but the injury to Bradley undoubtedly gives Arne Slot a major headache ahead of Manchester City on Sunday.
Speaking after the game to reporters in his post-match press conference Slot revealed he doesn't know the full extent of Bradley's injury.
“It’s difficult to judge so soon after the game. I’m really hoping that both will be available to play," Slot said referring to Ibrahima Konate who also suffered an injury concern in this game.
The comment is certainly optimistic but Liverpool will now face an anxious wait hoping both are cleared fit for arguably one of the biggest games of the season on Sunday.
