Urbanized area inside Berlin city proper is only 597.4 km² for a 3,570,860 population (Census 2022). Toronto had 2,794,356 people inside 631.1 km² (or 2,778,579 and 582.9 km² excluding the northeast and northwest tips and the islands).

Toronto's population is 3,025,647 as of July 2022 (link). I don't think that makes any difference in your city ranking though.
