On this pulsating evidence, we're set for another epic title race- and one that could have a different outcome in May.
Manchester City, champions in four of the last five years, weren't short of class at the King Power but even their magicians were steamrollered in no uncertain terms by Jurgen Klopp's trophy machines.
This was the third piece of silverware lifted by Liverpool in 2022 and completed their manager's collection of domestic prizes.
Liverpool made a clear statement to Manchester City by winning the Community Shield 3-1 at the King Power on Saturday
New arrival Darwin Nunez scored a diving header in added time to make sure of the win and hand Liverpool a 3-1 advantage
Yes, the Community Shield is only a seasonal curtain-raiser but the intensity and quality on shown suggests the Merseysiders are going to hit the ground running, starting at Fulham next weekend.
After all the hype surrounding the two new glamour strikers, the competition between them wasn't even close.
City golden boy Erling Haaland was given a start by Pep Guardiola and tested Virgil van Dijk in the first half before fading.
By the end, he looked bewildered and somehow hit the crossbar from five yards when he should have scored easily.
In contrast, £85mililon Darwin Nunez was initially put on the bench by Klopp but ended up the hero.
Captain and veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson lifted the trophy at the end of his 450th appearance in a Liverpool shirt
Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a superb long-range goal to hand the Reds a comfortable 1-0 lead at the end of the first-half
But substitute Julian Alvarez fired Man City back on level terms in the 70th minute after VAR overturned his disallowed goal
