You could say that Manchester City has two of the top talents of their decades in the lineup. If Messi and Ronaldo were the main star players born in the 80's, now De Bruyne as one of the main stars of the current era is a player born in the 90's and Haaland, a mega-talent and prodigy born in the 2000's and a player of a different school of fcu.
Maybe Haaland is basically a future star for decades, like Messi and Ronaldo.
It is very fortunate that Guardiola was able to set up their game so that De Bruyne perfectly assists Haaland and constructs the whole game of the team, and Haaland at the tip of the attack realizes all the chances in the penalty area.
Although Guardiola was initially skeptical about Haaland's arrival, now we can see that he is using his potential to the fullest.
In general, Inter will have to make a miracle and hope for luck, because City's squad seems much stronger.
I think it is obvious that City has some very talented players, probably top names, there is no denying that but no one in the world has dominated as much as Ronaldo and Messi did, they were the kings of football when they played, nobody else is that good and I doubt would be that good for a long time as well.
Haaland is a very powerful guy with a great instinct but he doesn't play with the ball as well as Ronaldo and Messi did, his scoring is great at the last line, but I wouldn't expect him to get the ball at the midfield, dribble around 5 guys, and then score, or De Bruyne to score like that neither, way too slow for that. I think they have the current two of the best players, but the current two is not as good as the old two.
I partly agree with you that during the heyday of Messi and Ronaldo from 2010-2020 they were unmatched. The soccer they showed was not just at a different level, it was like from another planet, especially Messi, who could walk on the field for most of the match and then solve the outcome of the match in 2-3 moves.
But in Messi's case he was assisted by perhaps the best midfielders in the world at the time - Xavi and Iniesta, what these three did on the field will go down in history not only in Barcelona, and when Neymar began to play at his peak, it seemed impossible to oppose Barcelona.
Ronaldo is a more mundane player and has created himself through tremendous work, a real workaholic.
However, Haaland is still a young man of 22 who is just reaching his peak and if he doesn't slow down, he will probably be the highest scoring striker in history. De Bruyne of course is not as productive, but more creative and versatile, but the age difference of 9 years gives him the experience that Haaland does not yet have and they complement each other perfectly.
