The standard issue with this kind of map is that it uses the administrative borders of the city, instead of the shape of the actual urban sprawl, which would make much more sense

That’s not Oslo though thats the municipality. The city itself is just the 15 districts + city centre

What is the criteria for making the list? There are lots of cities with bigger surface area than listed here… Capitals? Nope… Biggest populations? Nope… EU members? Nope…

This is nonsense. Area as a measure of city size is meaningless.
By this metric only 6 European capitals would be larger than Leeds

Thatโs a map of Greater London which is essentially a county comprising two cities (City of London, and City of Westminster) alongside the 32 boroughs. In the UK, Greater London as pictured is more comparable to a county such as Leicestershire. The actual City of London is the smallest in the UK.
