Atletico came extremely close to winning the CL TWICE. Also won La Liga in arguably the most competitive era plus gave a really good fight in 2015/16.

Compare that to Juventus who lost both finals quite easily and Inter who got molested in one of the finals...Yikes..


Another, similar questions is which (single season, rather than era) runner up was the best?

Teams like:

Juventus 2002/03
Milan 2004/05
Arsenal 2005/06
Chelsea 2007/08
Bayern 2009/10
BVB 2012/13
Atletico 2013/14
Juventus 2014/15
Atletico 2015/16
Juventus 2016/17
PSG 2019/20
City 2020/21
Liverpool 2021/22
Inter 2022/23


Did not include teams like United 2008/09, Bayern 2011/12 or Liverpool 2017/18, which won the title immediately before or after.. Thoughts? @Maradona37

Atletico easily. They came so close twice. Closest you can get and not win, which is funny in its own way. Packed era too. Meeting MSN Barca in quarters, Pep Bayern in semi and father of CL in the final. Damn impossible run.

That 2014 - 2016 Atletico was great.
 
Both Atletico and Juventus are great clubs but will lose most finals.

Atletico is destined to lose against Real at this point. They also lost a repeat match in 1974 after conceding in last attack.

And Juve,the less the said the better. Those guys lost 7 finals.

Sickening for a club who won every trophy in football (except Conference,obviously).

Juventus lost the last 3 finals vs Milan on pens, MSN Barca, and one of the strongest Madrid sides ever. I mean, it counts a lot who you meet in the final.

You can meet Tottenham, or Dortmund, and you can meet some fecking scary sides.

Both Atletico and Juve were unlucky to meet really big clubs with many elite players in finals.

They lost to Dortmund also and Hamburger.

Its a final of the biggest club competition - ofcourse they are elite teams.

But I get the point.
