Having a debate with an Italian guy about who is the bigger club and I think it’s close.
Both have won their domestic league 19 times and Milan have 1 more Champions League.
Milan probably have more well known legends like Van Basten, Kaka, Maldini, Gullit and Pirlo. But in recent years Liverpool have had Gerrard, Suarez, Alonso, VVD and Salah.
The current popularity of the Premier League helps Liverpool but Milan also has a huge fanbase.
Anyone under the age of 20 would say Liverpool. Anyone in-between 20-40 would say Milan. Anyone above the age of 40 would probably say either Liverpool or Milan depending on how much they valued each legendary player/teams of back in the days. It’s a tie.
