Leverkusen failed to properly capitalise on back-to-back slips by Bayern but have cut the gap to six points with seven games left. Making up that ground will be a tough ask, especially having lost talisman Florian Wirtz until into April. Late comebacks that defined their title-winning campaign haven't been anywhere near as frequent this term, but a dramatic 4-3 win at Stuttgart kept Xabi Alonso and Co. waiting in the wings, should Bayern stumble in the final stretches of the season.
