If you blindly rank cities by Eurostat Metro population (which makes zero sense), you still wouldn't come to your conclusion.
Look at the numbers. Munich and Cologne have essentially the same population. Cologne is also a physically larger and historically larger and more important city.
But the obvious point is that there's more to relative importance than population.
