NEO vs. MAX battlefield

No, minimum thrust for 737max is 26786lb
Thrust for A320neo (not 319 or 321) is 27120lb

So there is a possibility, I repeat, possibility, that the A320neo could be more powerful.

but the airline could as well choose the 29,000lbf engine (if that’s the case). Also I’m pretty sure the 26,786lbf engine is the MAX 7 one, not the MAX 8 one. Wikipedia could be stating the least powerful engine (for the MAX 7) and the most powerful one (for the MAX 10)

There is something called derated thrust

You know what there’s also on the A320neo? FLEX THRUST!

And yes it could also apply to A32N

But they use TOGA to get out of hot and high and short runways

So the A320neo is not underpowered either, let’s face it
They just don’t wanna force the plane under normal circumstances

But, straight from the data the A321neo beats the largest MAX by quite a lot

Here’s an A320neo short take-off for you, not trying to compare it to the MAX, just letting you see its runway performance

I’ve seen 3 and TOGA on even shorter runways
For example SBRJ

The normal A320neo is sort of disproportionate, but the A321neo looks fine.
