Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reading through technical specs. The picture underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 90D and L1.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 90D having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon 90D will resolve extra detail with its extra 26 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images much more aggressively. The newer 90D provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
