Normally, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes only by looking through technical specs. The pic below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 77D and D780.

As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 77D using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon D780 will render more detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 77D will be behind in sensor technology.
