League Title or CL Final?

No brainer for me, easily take the league.

No one remembers who made an appearance in the CL final unless they won it.

You'd have to have a screw lose if you'd rather take an appearance in the CL final over a PL title.

Winning the CL though? That's a whole nother question, and a more difficult one to answer.

In all honesty, I could remember that Juve lost in the final, but had to use Google to find the winners! Knew it was one of the Spanish giants, but couldn't remember which one. I could tell you who won it in the seventies, though.
 
CL losing finalist? No brainer - League every time. If the choice was winning the CL final or the league, then that's more tricky, and I'd probably have to go with CL winners
 
League always. CL is just a shinier FA Cup.

No. CL is the ultimate competition in club football and the standard to measure where a club stands in Europe. Whether we fans hate the CL or its seedings is irrelevant.
 
Being the best team in the Premier league is one thing, but being the best team in Europe is another. From a purely aspirational/achievement point of view, winning the Champions League is a different accomplishment. You have to do well over 38 games to win the league, but really to win the Champion's League you only have to 'win' a minimum of what? 4 games? assuming you get to the last 16. I'm not diminishing it at all, but it's a strange dynamic to win a trophy.

Of that 19 teams, none of them are as good as Bayern, Madrids, Barcelona, PSG and the likes. It's a different game winning against those top teams rather than defeating 19 inferior teams. Just what we found out having played 4 times against Barcelona. Haven't managed even 1 win, not even a close competition in any match. Winning 4 such CL games is worth more than winning against 16 dross in the PL.

Can't argue with that. If you want to be considered the best at 'football' you have to beat the best and win the trophy. We know how to win the Premier league, but beating the 'super' teams is something else.. and you have to beat 1 or 2 of them to win the CL.
 
League. I have more invested in the game every week for 38 weeks over a cup comp where the best cheats win.
 
League every time for me - shows you are the best team after a long hard 38 games.

After the last 16 in the CL it is all about luck of the draw and some luck in games.

Thanks for putting me in my place. ;-)

CL means little to me sorry. Maybe when I get bored of us winning the league year on year out and build up s tolerance to the arrogance and disrespect of European clubs and fans ... also the intimidation by police and idiot ultras. The CL has been a massive let down off the field as well as on it.

Domestic football is being among family. CL football is being among snobs who despise you because you don't belong.
