The conversation about Haaland and Nunez is getting more and more interesting especially after the two met yesterday. Haaland failed to live up to most people's expectations to perform well, while Nunez managed to contribute a goal for Liverpool's victory. But of course we don't judge from the match alone, because there are still many matches ahead that await. I wish them both success playing with their best performance.
Haaland had a good position at the end of the match but was unable to use on it. I just don't want to evaluate it for one position and one match. But for now, Nunez looks better when you look at it, but that will change in the season. We will see a good Liverpool and City rivalry this year, I wonder if there will be another team participating in this rivalry?
For now I quite agree with what you say but indeed this will be a very good spice for competition and rivalry because this can be a binder between them.
As for other clubs that can be used as references, it might be a little difficult but if you look at Arsenal's development I would expect more of the same, especially if you look at their game in pre-season.
