The CL placings is a fairly recent thing, there was no 3rd/4th place qualification places in the past and thus getting 3rd or 4th was never considered that desirable. We've managed to manufacture it into some type of trophy somehow where coming 4th is something so special and yet IMO it doesn't give fans that much pleasure and really doesn't compare to the feeling of winning something.
