Champions Bayern Munich staged a stunning second-half comeback to beat Mainz 05 in a seven-goal thriller. Vincent Kompany’s men were 3-0 down at the break after the Bayern boss made nine changes from the midweek win over Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup semi-finals, with the Bundesliga title already secured following last weekend’s win over Stuttgart and with Tuesday’s Champions League last-four first-leg clash with Paris St-Germain in mind.
But he threw on Harry Kane and Michael Olise at the interval before Jamal Musiala also came on early in the second half and all three helped complete the remarkable turnaround.
