Istanbul is the largest European city

It is actually Moscow with 12 million people, since only a part of Istanbul is in Europe, around 65%.

Edit: Yes I remembered correctly:

Around 5 million (35 %) lives on the Asian side ( Anatolia), around 9 million (65 %) on the European side of the city.

Moscow is the capital and most populous city of Russia, with 13.2 million inhabitants.

Fact: Moscow is the most populous city in Europe.
