Community Shield: Darwin Nunez comes out on top, Erling Haaland struggles
The season-opening Community Shield between Liverpool and Manchester City was billed as a battle of two new strikers - and there was no doubting who came out on top.
Asked by BBC Sport if he had any worries about the £52.2m forward's performance, City boss Pep Guardiola said: "No. He has incredible quality and he will do it. He has an incredible sense. And Nunez was brought in as the Senegal international's replacement, having impressed by scoring against the Reds in the knockout stage of the Champions League last season.
Just as Klopp was being asked about Nunez's impact, a replay of the goal came up on a television screen and the German pointed and smiled, before replying: "Good, very good and he will get better with time. "We all know strikers are a special species," added Klopp. "Everyone needs positives and for a striker that is goals and goal involvement.
In came the much-vaunted Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, following a prolific spell in Germany in which he scored an astonishing 86 goals in 89 games.
