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.
I’m not sure where the “bigger legends” thing is coming from. Souness, Dalglish, Rush, Barnes, Hansen and Keegan are some of the best players to ever play in England.
Then there’s the semi-recent players like Gerrard, Carragher, Owen, Fowler, Suarez and Alonso who were all great players. Even more recent there’s Mane, Firmino and Coutinho who are some of the best to play in the Premier League. Currently there’s Alisson, Van Dijk and Salah who are all time greats.
I’m sure you could do a similar list for Milan and I’m not saying Liverpool’s legends are definitely “better”, but I don’t think the conversation can just be brushed under the carpet.
Slippy G-Had and Carra never won the league. Only Souness, Rush and Keegan were deemed good enough by true European giants to play for them. Hansen was incredibly overrated. I only ever hear pundits and true legends mention Keegan out of your list. The rest are only club legends, not football legends.
That’s like saying Inesta, Xavi, Messi, Busquets… no European giants deemed them good enough. That Liverpool side was 2x as successful as the peak Barcelona side. Let that set in
Except Barca
The fact that you say “Slippy G” says it all. Your opinion is irrelevant.
Dalglish isn’t a football legend?
Hansen over rated? If you like.
