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.
Literally everything is orders of magnitude more widely known if it’s English or just in English
