🎉🏆 #MiaSanMeister 🔴⚪ pic.twitter.com/DUuz4mv5kJFor Bayern and Jupp Heynckes, the 72-year-old manager who is expected to call it quits – again – in the summer, it is still possible to replicate the incredible treble they managed five years ago. If Bayern can sweep aside Sevilla, they will reach the semi-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday, and possibly the DFB-Pokal final the week after. As proved by the pre-cursor to sealing the title, that 6-0 demolition job against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern are, as many feared, champions in their own stratosphere. As the away fans incessantly chanted “Jupp, Jupp, Jupp, Jupp” from the stands in Augsburg at the final whistle, it was even harder to fathom a amusing pre-match anecdote, courtesy of Heynckes himself, who excitedly returned to the top table to speak to journalists after finishing his press conference. I was holding a Bayern Munich bag so she asked: ‘Oh, are you a Bayern Munich fan?’“I said: ‘Yes, sure’.”Talking points• There is still life in der Dino yet.
