Ahead of Sunday's crucial match between Liverpool and Haaland's City at Anfield, Alexander-Arnold sparked a war of words by suggesting that winning titles is more important to Liverpool.
Looking back on this era, although they’ve won more titles than us and have probably been more successful, our trophies will mean more to us and our fanbase because of the situations at both clubs financially.
Haaland scored 52 goals as City won a treble of Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup last season. He has already scored 18 Premier League goals this season.
However, Erling Haaland responded to Alexander-Arnold's comments by highlighting the joy of winning the treble last season and noting that Alexander-Arnold has never experienced that feeling.
If he wants to say that, okay. I've been here one year and won the treble, and it was quite a nice feeling. I don't think he knows that feeling. That's what I felt last season; it was quite nice. They can talk as much as they want, or we can talk as much as we want. I don't know why he does that, but I don't mind.
When asked about Sunday's game, Haaland took a swipe at Liverpool, reminding them that they were not in last season's title race.
It's going to be a great game," he added. "Liverpool are top of the league, so have been the best team so far. We have to try and play at our best. Last year, I think we were in a quite interesting title race. Maybe someone was a bit away from the title race at one point. it was a nice thing. That's what is so nice about the Premier League; there are so many who are so good. There are so many who can win the Premier League; last year it's been City. We'll try and do it again. It's not going to be easy, but we are good.
