Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich squeezed past bottom side Paderborn 3-2 as Robert Lewandowski netted twice to spare goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's blushes in their final game before facing Chelsea in the Champions League.
Lewandowski now has a league-leading tally of 26 goals in the top flight, illustrating his importance to the team ahead of Tuesday's last 16, first-leg tie in London.
Bayern twice surrendered the lead in Munich before securing the win which leaves them four points clear.
With Bayern leading 1-0 thanks to Serge Gnabry's early goal, Neuer mistimed a clearance outside his area, allowing Paderborn midfielder Dennis Srbeny to fire into an empty net just before half-time.
"I was worried about knocking into him, because that would have been a red card," Neuer explained.
"I had the feeling he would get to the ball before me. That's why it looks that way. It's part of my game and it happens."
