IMO the order of importance goes:

Qualify for CL (Top 3/4 Finish)
Europa League Win
Domestic Cup Win
CL Finalist

Sure as a fan it’s a great accomplishment that season to get to the CL final, and the journey is always fun but in the end losing in the finals vs the semis is all the same - it doesn’t matter to anyone outside that team and a runner up medal doesn’t count as a trophy.
Couldnt agree more for the most part, but what you're discounting is that this is where the players want to be.

If you've made a run to the CL finals, thats where players want to play. It vastly increases the status of your club and the attractiveness to potential recruits.

Far more than any domestic league win.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
