The 'reds' are already champions at the start of the season. Liverpool defeated Manchester City 3-1 on Saturday at King Power Stadium in Leicester for the 2022 Community Shield and won the first title of the English football campaign.
Accustomed to the spectacle, Jürgen Klopp's and Pep Guardiola's teams exhibited a high level, where the balance tilted in favor of Liverpool towards the end. Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the scoring and Julián Álvarez equalized in his first official goal with the 'sky blue' shirt. Another new player like Uruguayan Darwin Núñez came on and proved decisive, as he won the penalty converted by Mohamed Salah to seal the victory for Anfield Road.
Erling Haaland was another player expected to have more prominence. The 'Android' couldn't have a bigger impact on the match, but in stoppage time, after Núñez's goal, he had an excellent chance to score a consolation goal. The '9' shot with his left foot and sent the ball over the crossbar.
Liverpool won their first Community Shield since 2006, a trophy that had eluded Jürgen Klopp on the 'reds' bench.
