It\u2019s important because it shows that, in football, there are no real losers. Losing is a normal part of life, and it\u2019s important to know how to lose. You give everything you have, 100%, and then you have to accept the result afterward. Congratulations to Mister Upamecano. I want to see the same thing when we lose. We need to show young people that you must know how to lose. That\u2019s important,\u201d Enrique said (as captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/2053119725064925645?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Knowing how to lose is a lesson in life, but for Bayern Munich and its fans, it would have probably felt better to not have to experience it against PSG last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on <a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/bavarian-podcast-works1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Acast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5kHW7eDJSF2sGA1O6gKxvB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/bavarian-podcast-works\/id1460036325\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a>, or any leading podcast distributor\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Bayern Munich was eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain, the Bavarians and their fans were&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663325,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[18635,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-663324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-bayern-munich-champions-league","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
