They are, but failed to make their mark in the Uefa cup, against lesser teams than Real played in the Champions League
My point is, that it's not as simple as saying team A finished above team B in the league, hence their better, e.g. Valencia won the Spanish title but failed in Europe, while Real finished third in Spain but won the toughest club compettion in the world. Not as plain cut as Davo is trying to make it out to be.
