Here's why City aren't bigger than Liverpool, it's not the Champions League

This weekend's 68th edition of the Champions League came to an unlikely end as ESPN Index predicted a rain of goals in Istanbul, but in the end a single goal from Rodri settled the game in favour of the Citizens, leaving the three-time Champions League winners on the brink.

Despite recent domestic titles such as the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, the Citizens have failed to come close to the Red's. According to Foot Goal, the latest tally of English club fans around the world, has the Red's above the Citizens. According to the table, that's 250 million Liverpool fans to Manchester's 205 million.

The tally, carried out a few weeks ago, revealed that despite poor title seasons, Manchester United still lead the Premier League with the most fans in the world, followed by Chelsea, who closed this season in mediocre fashion, as they will not play in Europe next season 23/24.

It is worth noting that the club's last golden era left the Reds in a better position than years ago, when they were not in the top places, with Arsenal and even Tottenham overshadowing Klopp's side. The German's revolution has left seven titles since his arrival, with the Premier League and Champions League being the most important.
