A rivalry requires a lot more than just being good teams at the same time. It requires something deeper and a lot of history behind it. A rivalry is one where it doesn't matter how good either team is at any given time because every game is just as important.

If City or Liverpool had some really rough years where they arent contending for the league then they would just be regular games again.

A rivalry for example is what Liverpool has with Everton or United. Even in years where Liverpool were winning league titles and Everton was struggling those games meant far more to the fans than the games with City because they are actual rivals

They are 2 good teams who have been competing for titles recently but that doesn't make them rivals.

One of Liverpools biggest rivals is in Manchester and it definitely isn't City

Im definitely in the minority here where I only got into football recently (last 5 years) when I was already in my 20s so I have literally no childhood memories of any form of football
