Bayern Munich have never been the best of losers. Some might say their almost pathological intolerance to defeat is one of the reasons they tend to win so much.
Their self-conception as winners, their sense of entitlement, is so pronounced that the instinct after dramatic disappointments in the past has often been to focus on their own unforgivable mistakes and flaws rather than to accept the superiority of others. Brutal purges of managers, players or sporting directors deemed not good enough have usually followed.
