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.

The big historic 7 European Supergiants are Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus and AC Milan.

Real Madrid are probably top of that list but there's arguments about the order of the other 6.

I would argue ajax and inter milan are among these supergiants as well

ajax easily goes there, at the very top, you could easily make a case for them being a bigger club than barcelona. Barcelona didnt have an european cup until 1992, when ajax had 3, and they were one of the best teams in european history

You really have a bee in your bonnet about LFC don't you. Is it because your beloved Spurs have won fuck all?

Unfortunately there is no discussion Real Madrid is at the top.

And juventus at the bottom

Would we really call United a historic Euro Supergiant?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're probably second in that list behind Real to be honest.

Hmm, not sure by what metric you’d consider them in that position.

Arsenal is bigger than Juve and Milan

Sit back down sunbeam and learn some history. 😂

Inter is obviously a supergiant club too, make it 8.

Man Utd have win fewer European Cups than Ajax.

So do juve to be fair.

Man United need more European success to be considered a giant in Europe.

Juventus doesn’t make it over Ajax

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you’re talking historically I think Ajax deserve to be mentioned. They have 4 CL titles. Also Inter have more CL titles than Juve and same as United while having more league titles than them
