If the situation was different, like AC Milan and Liverpool who were in the Champions League final in the previous season, then a narrative like this would also be heard that some people say AC Milan vs Liverpool is a more interesting match than Inter Milan vs Manchester City.
You're right, I personally think one thing, each game is a Different Story , because the result is not yet in , a team can make the difference, be it by luck or something Extraordinary that happens, now football is like that , we always see the difference in things when we are looking for improvements in the Quality of a game, the Fans of their teams are totally convinced that they will win, sometimes that luck can be transmitted to the team , so I also think that what you say is the best , both games are interesting.
