Has to be Milan, but both clubs are huge

It’s pretty comfortably Liverpool

In terms of domestic success, Milan is much further behind Juventus, who have almost twice as many league titles, than Liverpool is behind Man Utd (the difference is just one league title). In terms of continental success, they both have 9 trophies (not counting supercups), with Milan having 1 more UCL/EC. So I’d say that Liverpool is far more dominant domestically and they are on par in European competitons, with LFC being much better overall in the last 10-15 years. Milan did have more all time greats, but they can’t attract players of that level anymore.

I’d say they are clubs of equal status historically, but certainly Liverpool has a bigger status in recent times and is slightly more successful overall (due to Milan lagging far behind Juve in Serie A).

And I’d like to add that it’s quite likely that European record in the late 80s would look very different if Liverpool weren’t banned from competing.

Milan and by far.

It's Liverpool. It's close, but it's Liverpool.

Milan

Ah shit, why would you ask something so heart wrenching.?!

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 bigger question is why anyone thinks this is important?

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 honestly think it’s Liverpool comfortably.

I think Liverpool’s more famous and has more fans. A lot of that’s because the Prem is much bigger world wide than Serie A. For example, Liverpool’s got 3x more followers on Instagram.

I think I probably depends how old you are, for the modern era I would say Liverpool

Alonso, VVD and Salah? If you count them, you need to mention a lot more Milan's players like Sedorf, Cafu, Baresi, Inzaghi, Shevchenko, Nesta... I probably missed quite a few.

Milan have more legends and more iconic players but Liverpool are the bigger club. Both similarly decorated but Liverpool have a far bigger fan base. Milan's history is just factually cooler tho. Idc who you are

AC Milan

Liverpool are huge but Milan are bigger

None of the Liverpool legends would even touch the Milan legends bench

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.

I'm not a Liverpool fan or anything but I'd put them alongside Real Madrid, Man U and Barca as the most popular team in the world from a legacy standpoint. Milan for sure up there but not to the same level

Zzzzzz

AC Milan

Milan all day. From a totally unbiased manu supporter.

I’m an AC Milan fan and I’d still say Liverpool tbh

Milan is more than football (fashion design, business, fast cars, facism/mussoini etc).. While Liverpool is purely football (if you look away from 4 guys who made a band in the 50s/60s). That makes Liverpool FC a bigger name in Liverpool than AC Milan would be in Milan. Liverpool is famous because of its football club, while Milan is not.

To some degree you can say that Liverpool are one of those town/cities that is famous because of its football.. Milan would have had a name anyways. Visiting Anfield is one of Liverpools (the city's) main-attraction, while san siro is not a main attraction of Milano..That's the difference. Football is everything in Liverpool, while in Milano it's just one of several thing.. So howcome Milan be a bigger club, when they're not even the most important thing in the city.

Milan and it’s not even close

Milan are famous for their style of play back in the glorious periods with the Flying Dutch, Arrigo Sacchi, Fabio Capello, Carlo Ancelotti...etc. In terms of football, it did make difference with Liverpool whose football identity is an unknown. Personally, I've never heard of Liverpool style of play.

Regarding other stuffs, it's difficult to compare Milan vs Liverpool since they're both ones of the biggest clubs in the world

Milan is a bigger club. Liverpool is more popular.

Milan. 2nd biggest club in the world.than bayern, than barca, than Liverpool

Two things here that I believe make Liverpool the better of the two. 1, the Premiere League and it’s historical equivalents is indisputably far harder than Serie A and it’s historical equivalents. 2, a huge amount of corruption in the Italian game was responsible for some (some) of Milan’s success.
