BBC: Liverpool s new star Bradley shines in the audience, but Alexander-Arnold is jeered by the home fans

Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home in the Champions League. The team's new star Bradley shined in the audience, but Alexander-Arnold, who joined Real Madrid this summer, encountered ridicule from the home fans.

With the full support of Anfield, Bradley performed brilliantly, but the former local darling Arnold was cynicized by fans after leaving Liverpool to join Real Madrid. Since Arnold announced his departure, Bradley has been regarded as his successor. When two European giants met in the Champions League, everything seemed doomed.

The 22-year-old Northern Ireland right back Bradley became the symbol of Liverpool's outstanding performance in this game. The team reproduced the style when they won the Premier League and defeated Real Madrid. Arnold, who came on as a substitute, deeply felt the attitude of the fans who once sang for him now towards him.

On the day of the game, Arnold encountered endless hostility, from the words "Goodbye Rat" being painted on his mural near Anfield before the game, to the anger of fans at his betrayal during the game.

Bradley suppressed Vinicius with his outstanding performance, further arousing fans' dissatisfaction with Arnold. Every tackle Bradley made was cheered by the audience, and every pass was recognized by the fans. His name was shouted loudly, not only as a recognition of his personal efforts, but also as a reminder to Arnold that there is a new hero here.

Head coach Slott also praised Bradley: "Bradley performed very well. Not everyone can do one-on-one defense against Vinicius, but he did it."

Arnold's brief appearance in the game also failed to escape the boos of the fans. Liverpool took the lead with McAllister's header, and every touch of the ball by Arnold was accompanied by jeers. Liverpool fans reminded Arnold of the deeds of loyal players such as Gerrard.

This is a night that belongs to Liverpool and Bradley, and the atmosphere at Anfield is even more enthusiastic due to the return of the former star. Liverpool's rebound from six consecutive defeats has been impressive and this win gives them a renewed sense of confidence. Slott said: "The feeling of winning is always much better than losing. As a coach, I need to make the players believe in my point of view."

Although Courtois's heroic performance once threatened Liverpool's victory, it was McAllister's header that ultimately helped the team seal the victory. Liverpool won by a narrow margin but dominated the entire game, and these precious three points vaulted them into sixth place in the Champions League standings.

Although Arnold had a painful night, his teammate Bellingham also failed to make a difference. Bellingham said after the game: "The fans' boos are not a real view of Arnold, but more to cheer for their own team."

For Liverpool, this victory undoubtedly injects confidence into the upcoming game against Manchester City.
