Will Leverkusen finish ahead of Bayern when the music stops? Let's just say it would take a well-nigh unprecedented swing of the pendulum this late in a Bundesliga campaign along the lines of Stuttgart overtaking Schalke in 2006-07, but I've been around long enough to know that you should never say it can't happen.

Bayer Leverkusen showed late fight yet again to turn a 3-1 loss into a 4-3 victory at VfB Stuttgart on Sunday as they cut Bayern Munich's lead at the top of the Bundesliga to six points. Patrik Schick's winning header in injury time was reminiscent of so many late goals in their championship-winning season last term as they took advantage of Bayern's 1-1 draw at Union Berlin on Saturday.
