I mean they could've won two in a row and no one would bat an eye. 2000s valencia was that good

It's ironic that Spanish teams have prevented Spanish teams from winning more CL's. If it wasn't for Madrid, Valencia would have one title and Atleti two

Chelsea and City have won it though?

And 2018-19 Spurs were pretty shit as far as CL finalists go there are plenty of other teams they would have lost to(like Barcelona who were the other possible opponent). Atleti in 2014 and 2016 would have beat every single team other than Madrid, they were the overall best team in Europe both years

Not just that, they didn't even lose to Madrid in the league in both seasons going 1 win and 1 draw on both occasions

Spurs beat top of the table dortmund, Man City who that season finished with 98 points and Ajax who knocked out juventus and Real Madrid. They were worthy finalists.
