Liverpool defender makes playful Vinicius Jr. dig following Bradley’s performance against Real Madrid
Liverpool’s dressing room unity shone brightly after their Champions League triumph over Real Madrid — and it was perfectly captured in the comments under Conor Bradley’s Instagram post.
The Northern Irish right-back, who delivered a standout display in the 1–0 victory at Anfield, shared: “Enjoyed that one! Thank you Anfield ❤️” — a well-earned celebration after keeping Vinicius Jr. quiet all night.
His defensive brilliance didn’t go unnoticed.
Jeremie Frimpong, sidelined through injury, cheekily commented: “Talk about locking someone ,” in a playful nod to Bradley’s dominance on the right flank.
Frimpong’s remark reflected the strong camaraderie within Liverpool’s squad, especially among the right-backs. The lighthearted exchange drew more reactions from teammates — Hugo Ekitike replied “Thanks,” Ryan Gravenberch added “Too good,” Giorgi Mamardashvili dropped “❤️,” and Dominik Szoboszlai responded with “.”
It’s not the first time Frimpong has shown his presence while injured. In a recent TikTok post, the £30 million summer signing opened up about his frustration, saying: “As a footballer, it’s not a nice thing to go through… it’s really, really annoying, but it’s life.”
That honesty, paired with his support for Bradley, highlights the togetherness of Arne Slot’s squad — even through setbacks.
Bradley, meanwhile, continues to grow in confidence under Slot. Before the match, the manager said: “He played very well in that game [vs. Real Madrid last season] for 80 minutes… he is progressing, getting fitter and fitter and showing the potential he has.”
Those words rang true at Anfield.
Bradley restricted Vinicius to just one shot
