Mainz are quickly running out of time to clean up the mess they?ve made of their season. We have completed one more week of European and domestic football, and Bayer Leverkusen remain undefeated in all competitions. I thought that Leverkusen had lost a game in the DFB-Pokal so were ?only? going for an unbeaten Bundesliga season, but sure enough, they?re attempting to do something even more absurd.
After a close call against Qarabag in the Europa League, Leverkusen kept up their march toward their first league title with a victory against Wolfsburg on Sunday.
I am guessing they will slip up somewhere, but if they finished the season unbeaten in all competitions, that would be absurd. Here is how the rest of Matchday 25 played out: Results
VfB Stuttgart 1-0 FC Heidenheim
Bayern Munich 8-1 Mainz
Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-3 FC Köln
RB Leipzig 2-0 Darmstadt
Werder Bremen 1-2 Borussia Dortmund
VfL Bochum 1-2 Freiburg
Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 Hoffenheim
Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 Wolfsburg

How Bad are Mainz"
I can answer my own question right away - Mainz are very bad. I am less sure if they are relegation-bad. I have spent all season insisting that they?re too good to go down and believed that Mainz would eventually pick things up and leapfrog the worse teams around them. Their performance at the weekend didn?t do my position any favors.
Losing 8-1 under any circumstances is a prett...
