Atletico >>>> Juve >>>>>>>>> Inter

Atletico were far more competitive in both finals. They also knocked out better teams en route to the finals and were much better at shutting teams down in terms of creating chances.

Domestically, they're obviously better than 23-25 Inter who won the same number of titles in a far weaker league. Juve won more domestic trophies but against weaker opposition and don't think they would have won La Liga once and taken the title to the final day another time out of three seasons playing in La Liga's peak, so Atletico's domestic achievements are arguably more impressive as well.

Depends if we rank their football or their achievements

Inzaghi Inter played the best football of the 3, but what Atletico achieved was more impressive. La Liga title in that time and also Madrid was very lucky in both CL finals

Atletico wins easily for me, this team really deserved to win a cl but lost in last minute vs CR7&Co.

Have to say though Atletico of 13/14 was waaay stronger than Atletico 15/16 which has beaten Bayern in semi final but was completely dominated by Pep's team. The 2014 Atletico had a cement defence and an icecold attacking with Diego Costa and Falcao. Real couldnt beat them except the cl final lol.

I would say Atleti if they were so close to winning it but the coach fucked up in the finals.

So they are the worse of the lot.

Juve
Inter
Atleti

Fixed that for you.

Juve was the best side of the lot. Their 14/15 team was very balanced and strong. Gave prime MSN a good fight in the final, and KOed RM in semis (only time RM got KOed in 5 years in CL from 2014-2018).

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
