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 is slightly bigger since it has more Champions League wins than Liverpool, thus being more traditional and having more continental presence. You can say that Liverpool had more recent success, but recent success does not make a club big (Looking at you, Blue Manchester).

The fact that Serie A is not as big as the Premiership (this now, because the Serie A was huge in the 90's) should not be something to consider, it's not Milan's choice to be on that league or not.
