Liverpool and Manchester City faced each other in the Community Shield. This is the Citizens’ only defeat so far this season. Liverpool fans were ecstatic about the potential of their team. They were dreaming of winning the league with ease and people online were arguing (without trolling) that Darwin Nunez will score more goals than Erling Haaland.
Since then, City have scored 44 goals in 13 matches (Haaland and Foden are responsible for 27 of those). They are the most impressive team in Europe, as Liverpool are disappointing.
If someone only takes a look to what they both did in the Champions League this past week, they might get the wrong idea, as Liverpool beat Rangers 7-1 in Glasgow, while City drew their match in Copenhagen, playing with 10 men for most of the game.
