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.

Milan has a bigger stadium, better known legends, play in an affluent city, and has great history and traditions.

Liverpool is worth billions more , has more fans, and is better on the pitch. They also have the history and traditions.

It's a tough question to answer.

The Milano Generation comprised of Marco van Basten, one of the greatest strikers of all time, Ruud Gullit, who could play every position on the pitch except keeper, Frank Rijkaard, one of the two greatest defensive midfielders of all time, Paulo Maldini, the greatest full-back of all time, Franco Baresi, one of the greatest centre-backs of all time, managed by Arrigo Sacchi, the founder of pressing and later manager Fabio Capello, who won the Scudetto unbeaten in his first season succeeding Arrigo, is frequently considered the greatest club team in the 20th century and sometimes the greatest team of all time.
