It was September 28, 2017, and it was a dark day for the city of Munich and millions of fans around the world. Germany's crown jewel in the form of sport was suffering. One of the largest and most successful soccer teams in the world were in crisis mode.

FC Bayern München (translates to the Football Club of Munich, Bavaria) got hammered by French rivals Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League 3-0. Fingers were being pointed in every direction, riots were happening everywhere, the city was in flames.

Okay, there were no riots and the city wasn't on fire but the five-time defending German champions were in a heap of trouble. They were humiliated in European competition and basically out of the title race in Germany as Borussia Dortmund were running away with it.

With seemingly no other options, they fired their coach Carlo Ancelotti. And two weeks after that, they brought in a new but extremely familiar man to coach the team for the remainder of the year, that being Jupp Heynckes.

Yes, the very same Jupp Heynckes that famously led FC Bayern München to one of the greatest seasons in world soccer history in 2013. Heynckes' tactics and leadership led the Bavarians to a treble: a domestic league championship, a domestic cup championship, and a European championship.

After running away with the Bundesliga and defeating arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League Final, Heynckes made it clear that the DFB-Pokal Final would be the last game he would ever coach. And after Bayern won that over VfB Stuttgart, Heynckes rode off into the sunset. That is until he came back to help out this past October.

Since Heynckes has come back, FC Bayern München has won EVERY single game in all competitions, except for that one loss that they suffered to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga. As of today, the Bavarians can win the Bundesliga on March 4th, which would be a record for the fastest victory of the league ever. They are in the semifinals of the DFB-Pokal which will take place in April. And they are in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League.

So now the question has to be asked...can they do it again? It's a question, as a fan, that I've been asking every year. And every year I've somehow been disappointed. We've gotten humiliated by Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. We've blown it against Borussia Dortmund and two years ago the refs were paid off by Atlético Madrid (hah).

But now that it's February and the big games are about to start, it's a possibility that every Bayern fan has to consider. I mean, the man who led us to the promised land five years ago is back again and we have one of the best teams in the world right now, especially with giants like Real Madrid struggling.

We're going to win the Bundesliga for the sixth year in a row and there's no denying that. It's not a question of if it will happen, it's a question of when. It could be March 4th! Winter wouldn't even be over yet, that'd be amazing.

In terms of the other German competition, the DFB-Pokal, I have no reason to believe we wouldn't win that either. Dortmund is out, courtesy of us back in December, and they've proven to be the only challenge we ever face. We have to go to Leverkusen in April and that's a very tough ask because Leverkusen is good and we've struggled there in the past. But again, there's no reason we shouldn't beat them and then roll over either Schalke or Frankfurt in the final.

So a German double seems reasonable. It'd be our fourth in the last six years. The big challenge is the UEFA Champions League. We have to play Besiktas JK in the Round of 16 and that shouldn't be a problem. And to be honest, there are a bunch of teams that shouldn't be a problem. There are, however, a few problems.

There's a huge dark cloud in England and their named Manchester City, coached by our former coach Pep Guardiola. If not us, they'll be the winners in Europe this year. And of course, Bayern fans know that we have to worry about Real Madrid, because even when we should beat them we can't. And there's also Paris Saint-Germain, but we showed in December that we can beat them too.

Unfortunately, I don't think we can win the treble this year. I've been right the last four years as I've watched us painfully lose. As great as this team is this year, the other competitors are just too good. I'm just trying to figure out when I'll experience an excruciatingly painful loss this year. Will it be like 2015 and 2017 in April? As I watched us blow a 1 goal lead both years to Borussia Dortmund and get destroyed by Cristiano Ronaldo. Or will it be like 2014 and 2016 when I watched us lose to both Madrid teams in May. I'm not sure, but I'm already expecting to be heartbroken.

But if there's a will, there's a way. I don't think anyone saw us beating FC Barcelona in the 2013 semifinals and we beat them 7-0. Maybe my negativity will be wrong, I mean it's been wrong before. I thought the Germans would lose to the Brazilians in 2014 and the Germans won 7-1 so who knows.

I'm not getting my hopes up for a treble because I just have that same feeling that I've always had, like we'll find a way to lose or we'll get screwed. But it's definitely a possibility. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
