Get over facing a top team in a semi-final. It's not bad luck, it's just how things go. Constantly getting Barcelona or Bayern in the UCL round of 16, sure, that you can be upset about, though it's still pitiful they couldn't win even once.

And nah, Atletico fighting for a CL title? They're not that good, as you said, they're in the Europa League for a reason. Their group was pretty tough, sure, but it's not like Chelsea have been incredible this season either. I agree they belong in the UCL more than the UEL, but I don't think they would have gotten to a semi-final had they not been 'relegated'.

They got to the semis last year, and were finalists the year before that. Their team hasn't got that much worse than those years.

Sometimes its a case that the team does even when the is little change, the team either gets figured out or members of the team can no longer consistently put in the performance from before Leverkusen were an example of where they got to the finals then got demolished in the following season and team they had wasn't even bad.
