Borussia Monchengladbach 3:4 Bayern Munich Jupp Heynckes signed off from Bayern Munich in style as they beat Borussia Monchengladbach 4-3 at Borussia Park on Saturday.
Martin Stranzl, Mike Hanke and Havard Hordtveit netted in the first 11 minutes to give Gladbach a shock lead, with Javi Martinez and Franck Ribery responding for the champions, all before the 20th minute.
Ribery equalised in the second half with a stunning volley before Arjen Robben tapped a winner in to complete a memorable turnaround for the Bundesliga champions.
Chasing a possible top-six finish, Gladbach paired Branimir Hrgota and Hanke in attack, while Bayern stuck with their strongest XI, despite still having the DFB-Pokal and UEFA Champions League

Wenger: Bayern win was turning point Arsene Wenger has pinpointed Arsenal's win over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League as a turning point in their season.
The Gunners sit fourth in the Premier League prior to their meeting with Newcastle on Sunday, one point ahead of local rivals Tottenham in the chase for Champions League qualification.
Arsenal had trailed Andre Villas-Boas' men by as much as seven points in March, and Wenger has hailed his squad for overturning that deficit.
"It's a big comeback. And you cannot say Tottenham have not done well recently. They won their games. We needed not to lose any more games," he said.
"I had the feeling it could go to the last day. When we were s

Benitez coy on lap of honour Chelsea interim boss Rafael Benitez has refused to be drawn on whether he will take part in Sunday's lap of honour at Stamford Bridge.
The Spaniard, who has retained a frosty relationship with large sections of the club's support since his appointment in November, led his side to victory over Benfica in the UEFA Europa League final on Wednesday.
And, while he insisted he had received kind messages since the win at the Amsterdam Arena, the 53-year-old would not commit to joining in with the end-of-season celebrations after the upcoming clash with Everton.
"I will concentrate on the game and I will take part in the 90 minutes, for sure," he said.

Colback eyeing Tottenham shock Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback has insisted his side will not simply roll over for Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Wigan's midweek defeat to Arsenal ensured that Paolo Di Canio's side cannot be relegated on the final day when they head to face UEFA Champions League-chasing Spurs.
But Colback is eager for the Wearside outfit to end the campaign with a flourish by putting in a strong performance.
"There would not be much point preparing all week if we thought it would be a certain Tottenham win," he said.
"The odds will be stacked against us. They are any time you go and play a top team.

Pardew admits to second season struggle Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has revealed the rollercoaster of emotion he has experienced since he took over.
The former West Ham manager replaced Chris Hughton at St James' Park to a mixed
reaction from the home fans and the media.

Magpies narrowly miss out on clinching a UEFA Champions League spot.
Spearheaded by Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse, the side's electric run saw Pardew
named Manager of the Year by the League Managers' Association.
However, this season Newcastle have flirted with the r

Hughton insists Holt will stay put Norwich boss Chris Hughton has insisted striker Grant Holt will still be at the club at the start of the next season.
The 32-year-old has followed up last season's 15-goal Premier League haul with a disappointing seven strikes in 33 appearances this time around.
However, Hughton remains keen to retain the 32-year-old's services when the transfer window reopens.
"All I've seen is some press speculation. What we have in Grant is someone who has signed a contract in the summer," he said.
"He has two years left of his contract. I think he started more games than he did last season so this is somebody who is right in there playing games.

Real Madrid 1:2 Atletico Madrid An extra-time goal from Joao Miranda saw Atletico Madrid win their 10th Copa del Rey, beating fierce rivals Real Madrid 2-1 on Friday.
Real struck first through Cristiano Ronaldo, who later saw red and joined his coach Jose Mourinho in being sent off, but Diego Costa's effort cancelled out the opener.
As the game heated up and got more open, Miranda was the unlikely hero, popping up with a powerful header in the 99th minute, securing the club their first Copa del Rey success since 1996 and first win over Real in 14 years.
Real made a host of changes to the side which drew 1-1 against Espanyol, with Sergio Ramos and Fabio Coentrao returning in defence and Ronaldo, Sami Khedira, Mesut Oezil and Xabi Alonso back in midfield.
