My friend and I were debating who were the 3 biggest teams of all time- surely it’s Man united, Liverpool and Arsenal, in no particular order but in terms of trophies, global awareness and world class players who have played for these clubs. Please let me know if u disagree and argue another club should be there?

        If you’re only talking about winning European trophies, yes, but if you’re talking about the biggest teams overall that are from Europe (so total trophies, general always being at that top table, global fan base), it’s got to be Real, Barca and Man Utd

    If we’re going global then Real Madrid, Barca and Man United

        Maybe you’re being sarcastic hard to tell with your flair but I think many people including myself respect Leicester and Blackburn but not your club using blood money to buy success lol

          I just think it’s laughable for fans of clubs like United or Arsenal or Liverpool to whine about buying success when they’ve done that for ages or to accuse fans of City of being plastic or glory hunters when they’re conveniently fans of the historically biggest and most successful clubs in England.

    So statistically it’s

    United with 20 league titles Liverpool with 19 league titles Arsenal with 13 league titles

    Followed by Everton and Man City with 9 league tiles and then Villa with 7.

    I’m aware it’s probably a very unpopular opinion but Chelsea are bigger than Arsenal IMO. They’re the best and most successful club in London.

    Only 2 teams have gone undefeated, plus one team helped inspired the Champions League. Therefore I submit the answer must be

    Arsenal, Preston North End and Wolverhampton Wanderers

    I will not be taking questiond at this time

    United and Liverpool are clear 1 and 2

    Personally I would say Chelsea are ahead of Arsenal, for sure. Arsenal won titles a long time ago but in the Premier League era Chelsea have 5 to Arsenals 3.

    But mainly Chelsea have won 2 UCL titles, and 2 Europa leagues whereas Arsenal have zero European success.

    The very fact we are even talking about United in this company with the shower of S… football the club has served up in the last decade shows you why it’s the most supported club in world football, although I think you have to say nowadays the biggest 5 clubs in world football and that’s currently unquestionably Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man United, Liverpool and Bayern.

    Go to South America it’s all Barca and Madrid, Go to Africa it’s all united, go to sub continent and Middle East it’s more even with all 5 clubs, but in south east Asia it’s dominated by Liverpool, Madrid and united shirts. North America is Madrid, Barca, Chelsea, Arsenal and united.

    Genuine fans in the world, honestly United probably have more than any other club, but so many of those fans are dormant because they follow success and right now that club is an embarrassment to be mentioned in the same conversation as the others based on the last decade however the question is who are the biggest clubs historically?

    I definitely agree with you. However, if Man City keeps performing at the rate they’re at right now, they will replace Arsenal in this list in a few years.
