I'm not questioning the fairness of the system - no doubt the team who wins is the most fair and deserving winner. But that doesn't necessarily make them the "best".
In CL group stages you play each team twice, but over a 6 game league the best team isn't guaranteed to win. Over a 38 game season the best team is far more likely to win, but it's still not a guarantee.
