Mainz: 22 shots to 7 - Mainz blew Bayern away in terms of creating - and, ultimately, taking - chances. Bayern dominated in easily their best stretch of the match but they couldn't open Mainz's defence. Their first season under Bo Svensson saw them flirt with relegation, finishing 12th with a -17 goal difference. By half-time, the hosts had already piled on more shots than Bayern had conceded in an entire Bundesliga match since records began in 1992 and they only added to their record in the second period. Robert Lewandowski gave Bayern a foothold with a brilliant goal on the turn but it was one of only two shots Bayern managed in the match. Mainz had already hit the post twice - and they would do so five times in the match - and completely overwhelmed Bayern in midfield, asphyxiating the champions' forwards.

Other teams in the Bundesliga just don't have the same team spirit as Bayern in Sammer's estimation.

It’s in the club’s DNA. Players of other clubs might not think in the same way as FC Bayern players because of this. At other clubs, the pressure isn’t as great in Sammer’s eyes, which, in a way, lets them off the hook a little bit more and consistently sets lower standards. Even the slightest slip-ups cause a tsunami of attention from the press and pundits alike, as we’ve seen in Julian Nagelsmann’s first season in charge of the club. In an effort to condense his thoughts on just what, exactly, keeps Bayern ahead of their direct domestic rivals, Sammer broke it down into two, separate categories that are conducive with one another when they both work as they should; quality, and team spirit. “Football is about performance, but also about the material requirements for it. Having clinched their 10th straight Bundesliga title last weekend, Sammer feels like he knows what it is at FC Bayern that keeps them ahead of their direct Bundesliga rivals like Dortmund.

The hosts, who had 24 efforts towards goal compared to Bayern's four, scored again when scored Moussa Niakhate stabbed in at the far post from a corner. Mainz took the lead with Jonathan Burkardt's missile in the 18th minute. Mainz outclassed the visitors throughout the game and could have scored several more goals, with Bayern in no mood to put up a real fight after winning their only silverware of the season last week.

The second leg is at Ibrox next Thursday. He is set to be crowned Bundesliga top scorer for the fifth straight season and can add to his tally of 33 goals in Saturday's away match at Mainz. With a tenth straight Bundesliga title secured, Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann wants to settle the future of star striker Robert Lewandowski so he can plan for next season.

Well, that was pathetic. Bayern Munich have lost 1-3 to Mainz 05. The Bavarians are still guaranteed the Meisterschale no matter what happens in the next ...

Yet they somehow beat the best team in the land. Are Mainz becoming Gladbach 2.0? We’re talking about a team that was winless in their last five games, and conceded five times without reply to Wolfsburg last week. Maybe the team just didn’t feel the need to show up, especially during a tough away game. The only explanation (apart from Julian Nagelsmann being a fraud, which we’ll get to in a minute) is that the team didn’t care about today’s result. Bayern have conceded the first goal four games in a row against Mainz. Twice they’ve lost. It’s a wonder how a team goes from besting Borussia Dortmund just a week ago to losing to Mainz in such an embarrassing manner.

The host, which had 24 efforts towards goal compared to Bayern's four, scored again when scored Moussa Niakhate stabbed in at the far post from a corner.

But just as Bayern piled on the pressure after the break Mainz struck again thanks to a textbook break and a deflection of Leandro Barreiro's shot in the 57th to restore their two-goal cushion. Bayern had to wait for a half-hour for its first good chance and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting hitting the woodwork.

Bayern Munich crashed 3-1 at mid-table Mainz a week after clinching a 10th straight Bundesliga title on Saturday.

The hosts are all but safe in spite of the heavy defeat. “We weren’t brilliant but we weren’t expecting this. City’s fourth victory in a row in all competitions sent them back to the top on 83 points from 34 games, one clear of Liverpool. The situation remains critical between Stuttgart and us,” Hertha coach Felix Magath said. They are four points ahead of Stuttgart in the relegation play-off spot with two games left, with second-bottom Bielefeld another two back. Robert Lewandowski was on target for his 34th league goal of the season and record 18th away goal in a Bundesliga campaign.
