Go ask Guardiola the same thing. If he'd trade the PL title for playing and losing in the CL final and hed throw that winners' medal at you so fast it'd leave a bruise.

Nah a league win still means more than a CL final loss which in the end means nothing - speaking as a Juventus fan here.
IMO the order of importance goes:
CL Win
League Title
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.
Now I agree that every manager would trade a domestic league title for a shot at PLAYING and WINNING the champions league final...but no manager in he world is trading a domestic league title for a guaranteed loss in the CL final.
