MAINZ HAS CHANGED THE COMPLEXION OF BUNDESLIGA TITTLE RACE SAY MAINZ BOSS SCHMIDT

GIANT KILLER Mainz changed the complexion of the Bundesliga title race with a 2-1 victory at Bayern Munich fortress on Wednesday, and tactician Martin Schmidt said they had made the situation "a little bit more interesting."

And the drama means that, ahead of BVB and Bayern's meeting at the Westfalenstadion on Saturday, the gap between the two teams is down to five points.
Schmidt told his post-match press  conference: "I met the boys on Monday morning and we all wanted to take the next step. We only ever talked about winning here.
"We knew that we wouldn't have all the possession. We had a plan, and we knew it would only come off if we gave it our all. We wanted to write our own chapter today."
Bayern had entered the week hoping to end the title race with wins at Wolfsburg, against Mainz and at the Westfalenstadion -- but could now face a battle until the end of the season.
Mainz are now in a good position to challenge for European qualification -- and their win freshened up the Bundesliga, which has been dominated by Bayern since Dortmund's back-to-back championships under Jurgen Klopp in 2011 and 2012.
"I am pleased that we have made the fight for the title that little bit more interesting," Schmidt said.
On Twitter, Mainz addressed former boss Thomas Tuchel, now in charge at Dortmund, saying it was "over to you" in the title race.
