I mean this is a feeling that someone may have in the short term after losing a final. Sure, but in the grande scheme of things, and in historical context, it’s much better to be recognized as s team that can make long European runs, as opposed to a team that can’t.
You're talking like you are Real Madrid...naaah I'd rather win a final or I'm not too bothered if I get knocked out earlier. On the other hand, the higher up the league the better...that is your bread and butter.
