Liverpool star Conor Bradley has boosted his growing legendary status with the Reds faithful after a dazzling performance during their 2-0 Champions League victory against Real Madrid. The Northern Ireland international not only set up Alexis Mac Allister for the opener but also managed to keep global superstar Kylian Mbappe at bay throughout most of the match.

There was one particular booming challenge on the French forward drawing a goal-like cheer from the Anfield stands. That moment as 'There's only one Conor Bradley' echoed around the stadium is now being celebrated in melody, thanks to indie-pop band The Ragamuffins, known for crafting tunes for other Liverpool players including Roberto Firmino.

The latest chant for Bradley is set to the tune of 'Irish Rover' and is anticipated to be a hit with Liverpool supporters.

The full lyrics are: "Conor Bradley can play in the Liverpool way, Conor Bradley from County Tyrone; Conor Bradley's a Red, leaves defenders for dead, Conor Bradley You'll Never Walk Alone; He can shoot, he can pass, covers every blade of grass, turned Kylian Mbappe right over; When he runs down the wing and the Kop starts to sing Conor Bradley the Irish Rover!"

Fans have already expressed their excitement on social media, with comments like "Can’t wait to hear the Kop sing it. The Irish Rover," and "Brilliant.. I hope this is belted out at Anfield," - showing that the song has struck the right chord.

Despite his man of the match performance against Real Madrid, Bradley's night turned sour when he was forced off late in the second half after pulling up following one run forward.

Liverpool will face Manchester City on Sunday at Anfield where Arne Slot's men will hope to extend their lead of the Premier League champions to 11 points.
