Bayern Munich did not become Bayern Munich, the team that has won multiple Champions League titles and dominates German football, without raising the standards to the moon. In this day and age, the club dominates and wins most of the matches it plays. But if there is a loss, it is met with alarm bells, drama, and general mayhem as everyone goes nuts. Bayern utterly despises losing. It has become a core part of the club’s identity.
