The Prem. league performance should be any clubs bread and butter.
....But beneath the pageantry we weren't close to the "pinnacle" of European football last year... We weren't even close to the best 2 in our country.
I think it was more 'the power of narrative' tbh..... Was just portrayed as a consolation prize having not won the league.... In a similar sense, imagine how downplayed our victory would have been had we won and scraped by the same team that we finished 20-odd points behind that same season(*).
No-one can fuck with it if you win the league... Even if you're Leicester.
(*I know he's a prick, but did you hear the hatchet job A.Durham did on us reaching the final....?)
Champions League since we've never won it before.
Not just kings of England but kings of Europe too.

The PL is the more impressive achievement, to dominate all comers over a 38-game marathon of a season.
That's probably less true in countries where title winners face fewer genuine challengers, but I think in England it's the PL.
City-Ajax-Liverpool wasn't the most glamorous starry-eyed run through the CL knockout stages though. Imagine a world in which we tore through PSG, Bayern and Barca or something. That would offer something different than the league can.

Yeah that's fair and while we've won the league before I suppose we haven't won the premier league.tm.
Dortmund was a decent scalp, City are always up there as favourites, Ajax were favoured by many against us..... But I take your point and agree about the EPL.
Prem.
- harder competition and - with the exception of PluckyLittleLeicester(TM) - no ropey teams get anywhere near the title.
Chelsea have won the CL.

No but i can imagine. We were lucky I'm sure. Whereas Liverpools comeback was pure skill? Something like that?
Every tie from the group onwards was a smash and grab job if you'd believed his shite.
Think that would have pissed off more people if we’d seen that through.....which is possibly not relevant
Nah, that was 2015/16, the Leicester season where we got 2 points in the last 4 games. Chelsea were just too far ahead after a ridiculous run in 16/17.
Well I certainly wanted them to do what Liverpool did when they sold Bale. It was ridiculous to buy 7 players and think you can intergrate that number. Like Liverpool did when they sold Courtinho they should have used the money on 2 quality players.
I voted PL, but would want to win the CL the season after 
As a Villa supporter said to me, they won it when only champions took part.
