The English league is known for assembling the best of talents from the world and it has done one more time in the face of Haaland and Nunez. The Premier League has brought two excellent players who are young, well-built, muscular, fast and exceptionally talented to play for rival clubs. We can also say that it is the start of the rivalry between Haaland and Nunez in England and we do not know how long will it last.

The Liverpool Vs Man City rivalry is certainly among the best in recent years. It includes the rivalry of Pep Vs Klopp, Alisson Vs Ederson, Van Dijk Vs Dias, Cancelo Vs Trent, Silva Vs Salah, Foden Vs Diaz and now finally Nunez Vs Haaland. In football whenever two teams with such talented individuals face each other it is always exciting.

In this category, Haaland again takes the cherry as even at this point he has 1 title more than Nunez in his bag. We must also consider that Haaland is now playing for Man City, a team which is making the Premier League look easy. Pep can bring a lot of titles to the cabinet of Erling Haaland in future.

3: International Career

The Norwegian striker is comparatively young yet very beneficial to his country. Haaland was the footballer of the year for Norway for 2 years in a row and it looks like he is going to win plenty more. Norway does not have a very strong team and it would be a big task for Haaland to win an international title with Norway.

Nunez is from Uruguay, a country known for giving the football world exceptional strikers in the past. The latest addition would be Darwin Nunez who can make it to this list. Compared to Norway there are quite some players in the position Nunez plays. The player has just scored 2 goals in 11 matches for Uruguay.

The upcoming World Cup will be a huge chance for both these players to prove their dominance in the football world.

4: Personal Life

Erling Haaland is a person who is known for his funny interaction with fans. Haaland is currently focusing on his performances and keeping his body fit to stay at the top and make a legacy that will last for decades. 

Darwin Nunez is a tall and athletic man who loves Jet Sky and water adventures. He is also busy settling himself properly in the Premier League. Nunez is in a relationship with Lorena Manas and also has a child who also has the same name ‘Darwin’. It was not easy for Nunez to make it to the top and he worked very hard to be here. His father used to work as a construction worker and he is the first person in his family to be a football player.
